I thought my dd was the only one who was like this, she also takes things the wrong way and says she feels I think she isn't good enough .. My dd is also 10 and turns 11 this year, she can be very stroppy and has a quick temper, dd is quite small for her age and doesn't seem to be showing signs...

I watched it, couldn't believe what happened. It looked like they all got a decent start and it seemed like it was Vettal against Max fighting to get in the lead and Kimi must have got a better start and got alongside max leaving him sandwiched between him and Vettal , they all couldn't get into...

Bury Gymnastics Club has photos of the score sheets on their Facebook page for East Region, I don't know how to link it in here.

Add me please

I know the Facebook page you are talking about, it it is full of videos of gymnasts if all ages doing tricks at home. Lots of people encouraging others to buy expensive home equipment, I do wonder why a lot of them bother to pay to train at gym when they can it at home. I am glad I am not rich...

Dd moved into a development squad just after she turned 7, she was more flexible then strong back then, (I guess she hadn't found out she had untapped strength as doing an hour a week rec didnt bring it out like conditioning did in squad training), but as the years went by she gradually...

I am pretty clueless, I was just confused on how these things worked.

It is very hard to resist doing gymnastics at home especially flics etc when you can get inflatable air tracks for home use, bars for home use and other gym equipment, especially if you can afford it. Lately it seems the norm to have such equipment. We only have a pull up bar, folding floor...

My dd does Suffolk County Grades (only grade 2 so far) and Future Stars comps (usually at Colchester). Once you have started on the grade pathway is is possible to skip a grade if a gymnast is capable of the next grade up or do you have to follow in number order (1-8). Future stars - levels...

Pre school gymnastics since the age of 3 1/2 then rec gymnastics until a few weeks after her 7th birthday and then got invited to moved up, I did get asked when my daughter had just turned 6 if she would be interested in anything more than rec and I said no, so there may have been a move out of...

Hi from another uk mum. My daughter was in rec gymnastics until the age of 7 and got moved out of rec a few weeks after her 7th birthday, she moved into some kind of development squad (not NDP or elite grades) training 2 days a week, after a while started training 3 days a week and is on the...

My dd (6 years old)has been going to her development class for 4 weeks now, she has got stronger and more flexible, she almost got a pullover today using a cheese block ( got all the way to the top with her feet pointing in the air and the coach caught her feet and guided her other), she has...

Development class in the uk is similar to pre team, they do more hours and they focus more on conditioning, strength and learning the skills correctly and they also try and keep it fun as development class start at 4 years ( when they start full time school) and they also do an advance pre...

At watch age do your gym allow children to attempt and work on bridges and back bends (drop down into a bridge from standing) When my dd was in rec doing or trying to do a bridge was part of the warm up ( from the age of 5), at my dd's development class yesterday they were working on back...

How soon did you see progress after your child started development group or pre team? My dd has made some progress after 2 lots of development class, she has made great improvements with her bridge - her arms are straight and her legs are straight and together and she can hold them for longer...
