    Parents DP to XCEL

    as an educator, your child at that age should not have much homework, sorry she is having so much! I haven’t had to deal with this yet, my dd is level 4 at 10.5 hrs a week and is in 4th grade. She rarely has homework and it’s usually something she easily gets done before practice. DP route...

    Parents college dreams

    Sorry i find this very rude and condescending. Couple of been a much simpler answer. I do not think my child will go to the olympics, I never said anything about olympics, I said college. I am fully aware of the very small percentage that actually get recruited to college, I know the odds are...

    Parents Is switching gym’s the right thing to do?

    I spent so much in privates last year and yes they helped, but honestly feel for the cost of just the normal practices they should be progressing better. I know i will always need some privates for her for vault but the other areas she should be able to succeed in with just good coaching. I...

    Parents Is switching gym’s the right thing to do?

    So one of the gyms closed and this gym did absorb most of theirs! We are in an area with probably some of the best cost of living and job availability in California. Yeah i plan to take her to the team evaluations at the other gym and check it out, my cousin’s daughter is there on their xcel...

    Parents Is switching gym’s the right thing to do?

    Yes, i’ve definitely seen coaches that can handle the large group and still coach well but unfortunately that is not the case here. my daughter will make basic mistakes over and over with zero corrections!! She is building bad habits and that makes me nervous for her in progressing.

    Parents Is switching gym’s the right thing to do?

    HELP!! I truly don’t know what I should do.. My gut tells me we should switch gyms but then I second guess myself on whether it will actually be better. My daughter and I are fairly new to this. Last year was her first year competing, level 2. Now she is training for level 3. I am very concerned...

    So does that whole group of 21 get split into 4 smaller groups and then they rotate in the smaller groups to each event, with multiple coaches ?

    Curious what other gym programs look like for DP level 3. What is the size of gymnasts to coach ratio, how many hours a day/week do they train? Is there issues with gymnasts not getting corrections and doing stations without any monitoring?

    Gymnasts Backhand spring troubles

    My daughter is 8, and is training for DP level 3. She is really struggling with the backhand spring. It doesn’t seem like they practice enough during her regular practices and consistent strength training. Working with her at home on an air track, she collapses every time either both arms and...
