Sometimes they do drills and strap/pit bar instead of regular bars other days also during the week and that's great! But being that my daughters team only offers 6 hrs a week for the xcel program it doesn't seem like enough hours/ practices all together. Especially seeing what all your DD hours are.

Thanks for the feedback. Our gym seems to do bars only once a week and with new skills that some of the girls are aiming for with the new season, it doesn't seem to be enough to help them improve the skills. Being that "repetition" is the best way to improve its kind of hard when their not...

I was just curious to know if the gyms your kids practice at do all 4 events at every practice? What's the norm?

Just wondering if anyone's VIP tickets say VIP on them?

Been there. My DD broke her big toe doing one and was in a boot for 5 weeks. She still is hesitant doing them and will only do it with coach standing there.

Good to know. We were wondering if they would let us in with them. We have a group of girls going with VIP tickets but all the moms got regular seats. Granted the girls range from 10-14 so we know they'll be in good hands with the older girls being in charge.

We are going to the show Nov 3. How early do they let you in for VIP seating

Coach doesn't spot anyone. There is no place to move since this is the only boy class because there aren't many boys. This is also HC/owner of the gym. I might see about doing a private with another trainer this week to help him past this and go from there.

At our gym most coaches spot on floor and tramp to help kids improve & get the skills. Unfortunately this is the only group for boys other than the beginner boys. It's a combo of advanced boys and boys that compete since there are so few boys at the gym. My son isn't ready for competing yet, he...

What does it take for a coach to spot a child when they are struggling to do something, such as a back handspring on trampoline? My child is 10, was in the advanced group, stopped doing gymnastics and just started up again after 9 months off. My child has done the back handspring on tramp...

My DD has been on the xcel team as a gold for 2 years now. I believe they were hesitant to have her on the team because of her age (then at 10), but with persistence she got on it as a trial run. She proved herself and then some! Two years later she is now 5'6" and doing great. Still xcel gold...
