    Parents Summer break might break me

    DD (almost 6) is finishing up at her current gym, but will have 3 whole weeks before she starts at her new gym. I'm pretty sure I (and quite possibly my furniture) won't be able to handle it. As it is now, with gym two days a week, her time at home is spent doing vaults over the love seat...

    T&T Taking a break from gym?

    My DD has been struggling with fear for about 5-6 months. She has stopped doing all backwards tumbling on the floor for the last month or 2, and now she is having trouble doing anything backwards on trampoline and double mini. She was not able to do her routines and passes at the last 2 meets...

    Coaches Break downs

    Is there a place, book, site, clinic, someone with available time, or anything like that, where I can find some information/help on how skills break down? I'm talking basic skills, like handstands, cartwheels, pull overs, back hip circle.... How they are supposed to be done, how they are...

    Parents Do you "break in" a competition leo?

    We got the leotards for DD's competition (so cute!) and the material is pretty stiff (well, not stiff exactly but tight.) Are we supposed to break it in before competitions? Thanks!

    WAG Break snacks

    I train a lot of hours a week and on Wednesday we train from 3:30-8:30 and we get a 15 min break. I usually eat things that sweet things which doesn't make much difference because 30mins later I'm hungry again. I was wondering if anyone has any good snacks, like protein bars etc. I live in...

    My brother is taking a break from team gymnastics for a year. How can he keep up his skills? His gym does not have a recreational program for the more advanced boy gymnasts.

    Parents Can't a girl catch a break?? (Long)

    ...and I don't mean a break in one of her bones! I mean just a break. My 9 year old dd has had one heck of a season - and not in a "good" way. Let's take a look back, starting last August: August 2012: dd caught a nasty case of the stomach flu. Ended up seriously dehydrated which caused a...

    Parents Just can't get a break....

    DD was training Thursday and slipped on her connection on beam. I have to be honest it did not seem like one of her "biggest" falls I have seen, but then I saw the coaches were spending a lot of time looking and massaging her foot. She was sent home an our early and I was told to try and...

    MAG how much gym over break?

    In light of our reports about the "fun" of dealing with bored gymboys over American Thanksgiving, I'm wondering what fresh hells you all are facing in the next few weeks? Things are mostly normal for DS next week, and then we're heading off for a short trip. They have a meet the first weekend...

    This has a question, a brag and some general gymnastics chat in it, so I decided to just put it here. Sorry, it's also kind of long.

    Make It Or Break It inspired my daughter!!!

    I decided to check out this series last night. Not for me but to each her own. I sent Bella out of the room since it quickly proved to not be for her age group. But she came back through during one scene and now has a new goal..... She wants to learn how to do flares. :rolleyes: I found...
