    Off Topic Writing a YA Gymnastics Novel — What Would You Want to See?

    There is little to no representation for boys who do gymnastics, so it would be cool to take place in a gym where there are also mag athletes and interaction between them.

    Parents Does it get intense in the spring?

    It can be intense but it depends on how your gym does things. It will pass and get more calm as the season gets closer.

    Parents Gymnastics camp?

    Could you ask the person who is in charge of the camp? They would know about past years and what level and year those kids were. Another factor to look at is what group has more kids her age.

    Women GRIPS

    Ten o has really good ones. Those grips that you tried have sizes geared towards smaller gymnasts. Have you asked your coach what they recommend?

    Parents Back HS help

    what my coach did was after he felt I had the shape right, he spotted me less and less until he wasn't doing anything and he told me to just try it with him standing there but didn't have to do anything and now I have it. I think that really helped me, just knowing that I can do it and its all...

    Parents Houston gyms

    If you land in Spring, you should definitely check out World Champions Centre since they’re amazing with every level from your youngest to your Level 8. For Katy, Katy Gymnastics and Sports Performance is a really solid choice that would probably be a great fit for all three of your daughters...

    Men Talented but bored kiddo

    I would say it depends on his goals. I think that team can be really fun but it is very different from rec classes. If he wants to do big skills and be like the "big kids", then team can be really fun for him and he can make very good friends, but if he just wants to play and learn cool tricks...

    Parents Tons of athletes left the gym in my area. I don't know why.

    I don't know why that would happen, but if your looking for a gym near there, Pulsars gymnastics in Newmarket is amazing. I started gymnastics there and would still be there if I didn't move away but I still go back to visit. Its a great place where you can progress and have great coaches no...

    Gymnasts workout help

    Honestly the best way to get stronger is holding stuff (L-sit hollow hold, handstand against wall) for as long as you can. The best way to do this is by setting a goal (3 min for handstand against wall), but if you looking for challenges, you can challenge yourself with Wall-walk sprints, where...
