    Parents Advice for new (kind of) to gymnastics

    Thanks, but I honestly don’t feel that way!

    Thanks! I definitely agree that this is important, though I worry about overscheduling her. She's doing swim lessons right now in addition to gymnastics, so already has activities 3 days a week, and adding a sport that likely has 1-2 practices a week plus a game seems like a lot for her!

    Parents Advice for new (kind of) to gymnastics

    Hi all! My daughter is 5 and started in gymnastics at a small gym near our house at 3.5. She did a few sessions of preschool gymnastics with absolutely no structure and no skills based learning, and then she told me she was bored and wanted to go somewhere to learn "real" gymnastics. I...
