    NCAA NCAA athletes who don't compete

    My understanding (my daughter is a gymnast at a Big Ten school) is that there will be a rooster cap of 20 and that the scholarship limit of 12 is being removed. That is not to say that all girls *will* have scholarships, only that all girls *can* have scholarships.

    NCAA NCAA athletes who don't compete

    Generally, even if a scholarship is injured or medically retired, they still retain their scholarship. It all depends on what they signed in their NIL, though. Usually, but not always, girls that never compete aren't scholarship athletes.

    Parents Do you record meets?

    I didn't use to, when she was younger, although now I wish I had. I do record every meet, for recruiting purposes, and she's committed, I probably could stop...but it's habit but. Also easier for me to watch her through the camera ;) I have an L6 and an L7, also, and I record theirs, as well.

    Parents Amenorrhea

    My DD (L10) is 15 1/2 and has not started...nor does she have most signs of puberty. Her Ped sent her for some testing in the spring (blood work and an US to be sure that she had a uterus) and everything came back normal. I do think she is moving along, because she has grown 3 inches this year...

    Parents Missing practice for homework and tests

    I don't think it is about blind obedience , I think it is about discipline . If my daughter (an 11 yo L8, 6th grade ) is assigned homework , she had better do it. She may question it if she likess , but she had better do it. I agree that it sets good habits and work ethics for her adult life ...

    Parents does gymnastics delay puberty?

    My mother was 16 when she started her period. I was 3 weeks past my 10th birthday. I wasn't an athlete, but was very thin. That said, my 2 older daughters are 12 and 10 (gymmie is a 10 year old L7, at 51 inches and 45 pounds). My son, at 13, is very much in the throes of puberty, with hair...

    Parents Nutrition guidance

    My gymmie is the same way. 55 1 inches, 45 pounds, 10 years old and nothing but muscle. Like, she looks like a skeleton with muscle. It is not a good look. I try to get her to eat more, but she is happy to skip dinner after practice, if I let her. She would rather snack than eat a decent meal...

    Parents Prayers for a Gym Family

    Thank you to everyone for your thoughts. This was my family. We are trying to work through everything; it has been a hard month. The loss has been devastating to our whole family; Cooper was our 7th of 8 kids, and everyone is feeling the hole left in our family. My sweet gymmie had a great...

    Parents How long to get level 3 skills?

    FWIW, my daughter moved to (old) L3 in March (a few years ago) after only having been on pre team(or any gymnastics at all, for that matter) for 3 months. She competed L3 that fall, with all of her required skills (although the MC took until State to be consistent).

    Parents Pubic bone bruise

    My daughter had this, to the point where it was a hard raised line all across the area where the bar hits. It is super common, HC suggested the foam and bar shorts, which we did (used a piece of a block from the pit). In a couple of weeks she was healed up ; no need to wear it at meets.

    Parents Can a regular old 5 year old be competitive one day?

    I would agree with the cartwheel issue ; she may prefer the other side. It is worth exploring. My gymmie is right handed, but does all gymnastics left handed (or rather, left footed :p). She never set foot in a gym until she was 6 1/2,and is now a 9 year old level 6. They can definitely catch up.

    Parents Super Skinny Gymmie

    I just looked up Three's percentages, and she is less than 3rd percentile for height and weight. At least she is consistent :p That said, she is actually quite powerful on vault, despite being probably the lightest optional on the team. She isn't flexible, but a combination of strong and...

    Parents Super Skinny Gymmie

    All of my kids are like that... but my gymmie is ridiculously thin. Nothing but muscle, and you can see her 6 (8, actually) pack, just standing there, but even flexing. She is 9 and barely 45 pounds. We already do full fat dairy, and she totally needs to eat more, but just won't. I don't...
