    Women Decisions…

    My DD is Grade 10 at Level 8 at the moment. Been doing varsity gymnastics since Grade 9. This year, she tried Spring Flag Football. She is really loving it. But it's not all roses. Her first week of try-out/training in flag football was same week as State champ for gymnastics. Her soreness...

    NCAA Too late?

    I hear you. My DD trained in Canada up to Level 6, moved to the US for HS at Level 7. Competed Level 8 at Grade 10, and was just leveled up and training for Level 9 coming into Grade 11. Her teammates in Canada had same progression as her, but I am not sure if they are moving up to Level 9 this...

    Parents Competitive Gymnastics tuition costs

    My DD trained in Canada for 7 years, left at Level 6, training for 18hrs at $450/mo canadian. I think it will depend on where u are located. Tho we are in a big city, but not metropolitan like Toronto. It gets pretty pricey when you are in a bigger metropolitan. Our gym produces eastern...

    Coaches Vault Drills for Level 8

    It has been a struggle with the communication because she is pretty new to the gym ( transferred from a different country last year) and she is not that kid who likes to discuss stuffs with her coach. More on a shy kind. She just love doing gymnastics and being patient with what is given to her...

    Coaches Vault Drills for Level 8

    She can do yurchenko, and can flip it. Shes been told she's been ready to flip since L6. But she's been competing with tsuk ever since. I've never seen her compete with a yurchenko. She found herself with less height after working with yurchenko. And I think this is what is frustrating her...

    Coaches Vault Drills for Level 8

    She is more like this. She's been told by her coaches that she's ready to flip it since Level 6. Her power is sometimes scaring me, but I know that her coaches back then (she moved from a different country to the US) really insisted for me to put her in a gym and when I second guessed and almost...
