    Parents Bar at home

    When my daughter was age 9/10 she had a metal bar with a wood frame in the backyard my husband built her. Her favorite thing to do on it was a "kip" where she put her feet on top and landed sitting on her butt. She also figured out how to do monkey giants (sole circle?) and would do those for...

    Parents Severs Disease

    Hey, we unfortunately have a lot of experience with this. We tried allll the things, PT, massage therapy, red light, icing, taping, x braces, heel cups. The only thing that helped her was massage therapy (but it was very temporary relief) and taping. I taped both feet every day for months, it...

    Parents Is it possible to get recruited as a specialist?

    I’ll check them out and send them to her, thank you. She’s said she wants to compete in college, at least bars, but she’s seen other girls older than her get recruited to stand on the sidelines and she doesn’t want that. And nope, she’s not anything special at all on those events, they are...

    Parents Is it possible to get recruited as a specialist?

    Thanks for the advice, and honestly I’m not sure what she has against D2/D3 schools. Hopefully she will come around. It’s a hard balance as a parent trying to support their dreams while also being realistic with where she’s at and what she is capable of.

    Parents Is it possible to get recruited as a specialist?

    I mean at some point I think / hope she’s going to come to the realization that there’s nothing wrong with D3, she’s just not there yet and doesn’t even want to consider it when I’ve brought it up.

    Parents Is it possible to get recruited as a specialist?

    So I know that once girls get to NCAA its actually more rare to be an AA gymnast, and most girls only compete on a couple events. My question is is it possible to get recruited to a D1 school as a specialist? Without going into a long explanation of the serious of unfortunate events, my...

    Parents Thoughts on professionally recorded routine videos at meets?

    The big meets already do this, westerns, easterns and nationals! There would definitely be parents willing to pay for this.

    Parents Should we switch from NGA?

    I don’t think people are saying USAG is better, it’s just different, and depends on what your goals are. I agree that if NCAA is your goal switch to USAG.

    Parents Comp Leo recommendations

    I love our Sylvia P leotards but they are very expensive. Another one to look into is Leanne Wong leos.

    Parents Big Gym or Little Gym

    I voted small, but would probably vote middle if that was an option. We aren’t a household name but we have 10 level 10s this year and send girls off to D1 schools most years.
