switching

...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...

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...

Hello, everyone! i need some advices today. My DD is 10years old and will compete level 7. And i am coaching pre team at the gym. My DD is not happy with her head coach/ owener. She said her coach is yelling her when she has fear. And i know that because I was there. Someone does something...

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...

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...

Hi All So exciting to see an Aussie forum! Am a total newbie to this forum but just found it and the new Oz section so here I go with a question that has long been on my mind. Our gym has had several girls transfer over to IDP after level 1 and 2 but am wondering if it ever happens around...

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...

we are currently in a gym now that we love ONLY THING it is an hour away both ways. Our DD is a level 4 and just competed her first year she is only 6 years old and I would imagine she will stay with gymnastics. There is another gym about 15 mins away that is also a competitive gym. So my...

Hey all! I posted last week about possibly switching Dd to a different gym because she is outgrowing her other one. She is 8-years old, training Level 6 and at a gym that currently has no optionals. Her coach does a lot of uptraining, but I would like to move her to another gym that has a...

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...

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...

Okay, I have an issue with the gym class I am in. First, here is some background. I am a level 6 in rec. I go one day a week for 2 hours. Our class used to have a ton of people in it. The limit is 16 girls and there are 2 coaches. We used to have 16, then almost all of them dropped out...

DD competed this last season as a L8. She is hoping to compete 9 next year. She worked on yurchenko drills last spring and summer but was not doing super great on those. She started learning tsuks in the fall and ended up competing the tsuk tuck this season. She has a lot a power off the...

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...

New here, looks like a great forum. My daughter is 8 years old, just finished the level 5 competition season on her team (she won a few meets on floor) and is now ready for level 6. We are not doing the state meet due to a conflict and frankly my daughter was relieved). But I do feel bad for...

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...

Okay, we're in Corpus Christi, TX and there are about 2 serious gyms here for gymnastics. We're considering switching gyms because the one my daughter is at is just not providing what she wants. My daughter is 6 yrs old and not on team. She is suppose to start level 4 team in January, but...

I ran cross country my senior year of high school and I was also still dancing, and probably since I was going back and forth between tightening and then stretching my muscles every day, I managed to pull both hip flexors (not at the same time). The right one was worse and still gives me trouble...

10-year-old DD has been in a YMCA gym for half her life and is truly ready for bigger and better things. We have visited the new gym, met the coaches, and are both impressed by everything (well, DD isn't thrilled about having dance be part of her gym instruction, but I am). I've been trying to...
