    Parents Grips while learning kip

    Our gym doesn’t have girls get grips until after level 4. My daughter actually ended up learning giants without grips, those did take a little while to relearn with grips, but wasn’t a huge deal.

    Women Bonus for level 10 pass help

    An indirect B + C is +.1. I’m assuming the whip back full is a B, I’m not 100% on that.

    Women Whats Better?

    My daughter didn’t like any of the expensive gymnastics wrist bands. She prefers the Nike ones on Amazon for under $10.

    Parents When is it time to quit?

    She definitely missed it, but I wouldn’t say regretted quitting, she dove into marching band which took up all her free time. She also started coaching gymnastics, and got into competitive rock climbing. So she has stayed busy. She is just finishing college now and is still super into rock...

    Parents When is it time to quit?

    If she voicing these things to you now it’s likely something she’s been thinking about for a very long time. If she wants to quit, let her. It’s a very typical age/level for girls to decide they are done and ready to move on to other things in life. My older daughter was done with the sport...

    Injury Elbow injury. Ideas for arm conditioning

    I would see what your PT says, I was actually surprised at how much my daughter could do after elbow surgery, but I don’t want to recommend exercises that may not be safe for your specific injury.

    Parents Is there a system for uploading music before a meet?

    @Geoffrey Taucer My skills are mostly on the front end (React/javascript/Scss) and I have a little bit of a design background, count me in to help out. We could spin up a slack or discord to chat about it?

    Parents Is there a system for uploading music before a meet?

    A system like you’re talking out wouldn’t be that technically difficult to develop. I’m not sure it offers much benefit over what coaches do now though, which is plug in an iPad/ipod/phone into the sound system. Plus you’d have one more thing to troubleshoot and have coaches trying to do before...

    Women Any adult gymnasts?

    I will occasionally pop into an adult open gym, and sometimes take tumbling or handstand classes at a local aerial arts gym. Not sure that counts, but have to keep my handstand skills up to have a chance at beating my daughters at handstand contests. ;)

    NCAA NCAA athletes who don't compete

    That makes a sense to me, but coaches across all sports have already cut athletes because of this! What a mess.

    Women Regions judging opinions

    Yea, I really think that the regions that think they are "lower scoring" just aren't as strong as the "higher scoring" regions/states. Not that there aren't meets here and there that are scored harder or easier, but overall I don't think that's the case.

    Parents Most Common Gymnastics Injuries

    I think my kid must be the most injury prone ever. I’m kinda over it at this point. She must be a glutton for punishment because she keeps going back. And yes, we see a nutritionist now. Sprained ankles x100000 Severs Sinding-Larsen-Johansson syndrome Elbow OCD - surgery Dislocated shoulder...
