    WAG Australian Gymnastics questions!

    Hi all, I feel like I haven't been on here for an eternity. Was just reminiscing through older threads that I had started.

    Hi from Australia

    Hi, I've just joined and was wondering if there are any other Aussies out there? My DD (who's almost 9) has been doing gymnastics for 3.5 years and is in level 2 ... although I'm not sure if our level 2 is the same as level 2 in the US? Hope to chat to you all soon! :)
