    Parents Advice for 5 Year Old

    Hi there! I’m happy to share my experience. A caveat is that I’m also the mom of a 5yo gymnast and would totally defer to what the more experienced parents/coaches/gymnasts say! :) Anyway, I totally relate to what you shared. This fall my daughter started in beginning rec (after doing 6 months...

    Parents How much does ballet help gymnastics training?

    Hi all, how many of your kiddos have taken ballet as part of their gymnastics journey? Did it help their gymnastics, and if so how? Alternatively, were there any body shapes or habits they learned from ballet that didn’t translate to gymnastics or even got in the way? Fall registration has just...

    Parents Is rec camp worth it?

    My daughter is a 5yo rec gymnast whose goal is to join pre-team/team. I’m looking at summer day camps since I work full time.

    Parents Bridge kickover

    My daughter (5yo rec gymnast) would really like to get her bridge kickover. She can do a pretty good straight arm bridge, rock back and forth in the bridge, lift one leg, and lift the other leg, but doesn’t have the actual kickover part. Are there exercises or progressions she could try at home...

    Parents Making conditioning more fun for younger kids?

    Thank you all so much for your helpful replies! It turns out she became pretty self-motivated once I explained that these are the kinds of exercises the big kids on the team do. She’s been begging us to practice every day and we’ve helped spot her. She is even drinking more milk (thanks for the...

    Parents Making conditioning more fun for younger kids?

    Quick follow-up: I’m actually not sure how many chin-ups or leg lifts she can do already or if she using doing them properly. I will follow up with the coach, but meanwhile, are there any resources (e.g., videos, checklists) for how kids can work their way up into these skills if they don’t yet...
