I finally did my Korbut on the high beam with no spot yesterday :D Really exciting for me because I finally have a flight skill that I can't wobble on. I know I need work on my form, but hey ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. First one ever! This was towards the first few I did.
My Korbut
I am soooooooooooooo happy for her!!!!! She had been working hollow body 3/4 Giants for a month and was dying to do real ones on the wood bar.......she got her chance tonight, and after 4 tries, they looked pretty good! I guess the drills really pay off....
Thanks to the great coaches.
So our State Meet was this weekend. We are a gym from a very rural area of our state but definitely are well respected for what we are.
My sassy little 7 yo ROCKED IT today at comp!!! Couldn't be prouder!!! Finished 16th out of almost 300 level 3 kiddos and had the highest vault score of the...
So so proud of DD. First comp with her new club (she's been there since mid Sept and has not properly competed before now), and she came 7th on bar and on vault out of 43 girls in her age group :)
She's really pleased with how she did, so was her HC. Think we were all a little nervous after...
DD finally fought thru the fear and conquered the fly-away!!! Yahoo! So happy! She was all smiles all day today. She can't wait to get back to the gym next week.
Our gym has finished their competitive season, and we had our levels 1-4 teams finish undefeated and State Champs. Our level 10s were also state champs, and we sent 3 girls to Nationals and 2 to NIT (we only have 12 level 10s, and 3 were unable to participate at regionals). I just have to know...
DD won 1st place All Around at Sectionals today. She got her usual scores with a PB on Floor. It helped that they split her age group into A & B. Plus all her teammates qualified for State. Woohoo!
So my intermediate tumbling class dared me to do a RO BHS layout tonight. I am in my 30's and have not done that since high school. I am proud to say I pulled it off! A pretty nice one at that!
The kids flipped, but the best part is parent reactions;) I have a feeling I won't be able to move a...
My DS just started back at gym last week after having been off for the last month and a half and switching gyms he has finally conquered those evil mushroom circles! He did 2 on Tuesday at practice!! He is so proud of himself as he struggled all last season with them.
You know those sessions when it looks as though the gymnastics fairy found a minute to sprinkle some dust over your child? Well my dd had one of those :)
The most fantastic one was her beautiful front handspring front somis, which she was landing very prettily, chest up and plenty of time, at...
Hello guys! It's been a while since I posted, been really busy! Lat time I think I told you guys that my dd was training to score out of level 7, after already scoring out of level 6, 2 months earlier. Well she didn't score out of 7, but had level 8 skills added to her level 7 routine, this...
I find it amazing the difference a month can make in a child and the difference that being done with competition stress can make. My dd has went from being stressed out and scared of skills, to conquering those fears and even performing bigger skills. She came out of gym last night so happy...
So after a year of working towards her goal of competing Level 7, DD attended her first meet of the year, and did awesome!!!! No shoulder popping out of joint, no falls, and a little girl who is very proud of herself! :D

We had our last level 2 meet today for my 8 year old gymnast. She has been doing gymnastics for a total of about 6 months. She has been having trouble with her back hip circle and decided a few weeks ago that she was going to have it by the last meet. She worked hard during class and even stayed...
