So, kind of at my wits end here. DD is 14 - did level 8 twice hoping for 9 this year. Has always struggled with fear when learning new skills or sometimes will become fearful of a skill she's competed for a year (happened with giants and fly away - usually always with flight on beam.) She's...

Does anyone know why the search feature doesn't work or any way to search the posts/forums? I've been trying for quite a while, and always get an error message. I'm really trying to search for something specific.

Honestly, I would ask again - I agree with another poster saying that for $200 it should darn well fit - you should get your money back no matter what if you end up having to wear a tank instead all year. I would still send them a picture and ask them to explain how it's supposed to fit and why...

Humm, sounds like maybe this leo is defective or sized off or something. Is there a teammate that has the same size as you that you could try her leo on to see if it fits better? Then if you have an adult medium and another adult medium fits well, your coach should send it back for another in...

I'll add mine learned the hard way. Trust her coach and if you don't or can't find a coach you can trust.

Maybe I said that wrong - I know she's flipped a fault on the "fakey" and they have a skill card that they use to measure a gymnasts' readiness to move up she's on track with what they have for vault. A couple of people have mentioned that vault is a big step at the 7 to 8 level which I can...

Thank you for responding. They don't work a lot on vault so not sure where she is on that though think that would be reasonable for her to get. Bars is her weakest event. She has a pirouette but can't kip out of it. She had her hand-hand on beam before the foot injury (if she can get it back...

First time posting here and would appreciate any thoughts. DD is 12. Competed 7 last year and did quite well. For the last couple of years I feel her current gym has not been fair to her (basically not setting her up to succeed, really setting her up to fail in some instances.) They do...
