We have been gone from our former gym just a few short weeks. I spoke to a dear friend who's DD was on team with mine. She said things have gone downhill with a particular coach. So I told her I would reach out to the CB community and see what others have experienced as well as hopefully some...
I wasn't sure wether I wanted to post this on here but I can't deal with it myself and haven't got anyone else to talk to and get advice from.
My youngest dd had a bit of a run in with her coach over a misunderstanding (I was called in to a meeting) - sorry don't want to go into too many...
It's my 4y/o daughter's second week in her new pre-team class - same gym, new teacher. After watching her second full class of cartwheeling on her right leg and kicking over with her left leg, I made a point to go mention it to her new coach. The info seemed well received but I'm paranoid. Is...
I don't know if you know her, but there is a woman on FB, her name is Meggin Penkal and she is around 40 years old. She was a former L10 gymnast at Parkettes, she was a cheerleader in college and now is a stuntwoman and gymnastics coach. She also did all the stunts on "Make it or Break it"!
She...

Just wondering how common it is for a gym to keep changing coaches within the gym. Last season we had a great coach and my daughters did very well , for summer my girls have different coaches, and when fall starts up the coaching will change again. We aren't getting new coaches in the gym...
Do you have a really good relationship with your coach? Me and my coach have the best relationship possible, we're just so much alike. Were both really sarcastic and we like to joke with each other. She sent me a text last week after I had a bad birthday practice saying how much she loves that...
I don't understand something, you knew Dd would test as a 9 yr this year in Tops. You knew want skills were needed. You moved her to level 6 this past season, why did she spend the whole season doing a squat on on the bars not a toe circle or whatever it's called. Why a backwalk over on beam not...
DD confessed that she sometimes thinks her coach ( inexperienced low level coach) gets frustrated with her because she thinks DD doesn't listen properly. In fact, the real problem is not a lack of paying attention, it's that - as a moderate Dyslexic - DD struggles to "follow" complicated verbal...
Just curious what the norm is? My daughter is on team now (started in Jan) and I am not sure what long term "vision" they have for her, etc. I receive no progress reports- ie- written, on her skills and such. I don't really even know what level they plan to compete her in? I assume level 3-...
Hello again!
So sorry to post this press handstand question just after the last thread, but this is really important.

Yesterday he did a full...
