    Parents Worth it for a year?

    My daughter is 6 and a dancer. She's also currently doing rec gymnastics classes. I kind of feel like rec gymnastics is not an ideal environment at this point because there's not as much focus on getting perfect technique as I'm guessing there is in competitive. My daughter is doing the floor...

    Parents Picking Up

    I think what we're missing here is that the coach has a group of kids to coach, not just one. The coach should be spending equal time on all the kids. If the coach has to spend a bunch of time reminding one kid of the same thing over and over, that's not fair to the other kids who are not...

    Parents Tumbling to gymnastics

    I agree with that. I didn't have my daughter do bridges until she was 5. That's useful. Based on that, I'd say a pullover is probably easier than a front walkover. No one is going to figure that out on the playground! They require a pullover and a "spotted" front hip circle but I don't know...

    This is very useful! 2-6 months is totally fine. I was worried it would be like a year. Monkey bars is something she can work on easily at home :) Thank you for your info on that.

    Yes :) You phrased the same thing much better without the unnecessary jabs! She's already doing tumbling :) I find the "You're fighting for a higher level so your 6 year old won't be ahead in 1/4 of the class but will be behind in 3/4 of the class" to be rude. No one is fighting with anyone...

    Since you only seem interested in dismissive and rude remarks and not addressing the question, let's call it a day and move along :) This is unnecessary.

    Sure, but she's a dancer. She's not planning to be a competitive gymnast. Competitive gymnasts need to master all the skills. She doesn't have to do gymnastics and bars to dance. This is just a convenient place to go do something as her brother already does ninja there. She will be only be...

    I am definitely not fighting. I am just asking whether it makes sense for her to do gymnastics at all or if she would get stuck in this level for a while because of bars. I'd rather put her into a sport where she's not bored for 75% of the class. Higher level is not an option. I'm not sure...

    They initially wanted her to start at the Level 1 rec class, but I wasn't willing to do that because that class has mostly kids that can't do a simple handstand or cartwheel. So we settled on Level 2 rec. Our dance studio has a separate required tumbling class for teams (not just learning...

    My daughter is a dancer. She can do BWO and FWO and RO. She is currently working on BHS and aerial in dance. To make my schedule simpler, I want to sign her up for gymnastics in the same place where my son takes Ninja class. It's primarily a gymnastics gym, they just also do ninja. She's...

    Parents Cartwheel help

    My daughter is 6 and in group tumbling classes twice a week (not quite gymnastics, but similar at this age). She can do fairly controlled other skills including backbend kickover, front limber, back limber, almost has the back walkover, handstand for like 5 seconds. But her cartwheel is a mess...
