    Alberta switching to JO next year...

    What does everyone think of this? Anyone from other provinces that have already switched have any insight on it? I'm finding it frusterating trying to get the provincial kids ready for this year and then thinking about all the skills I'm pushing them on so hard, that won't even be needed next...

    WAG Switching fm Xcel to JO. How does the judging/scoring differ?

    Dd was in Xcel as of last season and will now be on the JO side of the house. I really didn't know what Xcel was and kinda had to learn along the way (we came from R5 and dd's old gym doesn't do Xcel). She competed Silver this season. And I found out Wednesday that she'll be scoring out of 4...

    Switching clubs....

    ...Is so confusing! The situation at my old club became pretty unbearable in the past couple of months and I was thinking about leaving. Last week things kinda came to a head and I'm not competing for them anymore. I'm not really distressed about that at all, the decision about whether to...

    Parents Should we consider switching gyms?

    Dd is 5 and on the competitive level 1 team at her gym. Her gym competes level 1 and 2, and this is the track at her gym to the higher levels. The only other way to get to the higher levels at her gym is to come in from another gym's team. The rec classes at her gym are very low level (kids...

    Parents Different gym philosophies/switching gyms?

    I had a great conversation earlier today with the gym owner of what is supposedly the most reputable gym in our area (Gym #2). DD was evaluated there last year. We could have switched, but she was very young at the time, and we decided to stay put for this year at Gym #1. As we are shelling...

    Parents Tumbling - Switching from cheer to gymnastics & how far do you drive to get to your gym? What's more

    DD (I have no idea what abbreviations you use on this board). Has done two years of All-Star cheer (2nd & 3rd grade). We did not sign her up for All-Star this year, so that she could relax and move at her own pace, continue with tumbling classes. Well, coach ended up getting upset with her...

    For those who hasn't been following my saga, DD is 8 and on the xcel bronze team at her current gym. We want to switch to JO, but her current gym said she is too old and not good enough to be on their JO team. So, we went for an evaluation at another gym yesterday. They had her do the whole...

    Parents Switching gyms when child doesn't want to

    WAG Switching Gyms?

    I've been at my current gym my whole life and Im starting to feel like I should switch. I love my team, and I love *some* of my coaches. But honestly, our gym is not that good score-wise except for the level 5 team (my team!). last year we scored in the 116s. But this year, we have a new coach...

    After much disscusion with my daughter and the fact that the last optional has left for another gym, she has decided to switch gyms. The gym says it requires a 30 day drop notice, but I just can't see keeping her there for a month after we tell the coaches we are switching. Can they hold us to...

    Little Gymnast Switching Feet for Different Skills

    My 5 yr old is on pre-team, and her HC noticed she is using different feet for different skills. Gorgeous right footed cartwheel, great left food handstand. She's basically switching feet for everything. I mark her right foot for practice now, and she's been practicing at home doing things with...

    Parents Question about switching gyms...

    My daughter is going into level 5 and I am considering switching gyms. Her current gym is nice in that it is huge and she is very close to her teammates. Is isn't very good in that there is no communication about what is going on, ever. Her head coach just resigned with 2 day notice. My...

    Parents Should we consider switching gyms due to schedule?

    Hi everyone, So this has been on my mind for a while, even though it won't affect us till next fall (I'm a bit of a planner), and would love to hear thoughts from others. If my 5 yo DD continues with gym and moves up to the team in summer, her schedule would change next fall to 2 hours, 4...
