    Oy. This mill circle is going to be the death of her/me/her coach

    Quick synopsis - she's a 5 yo L3. She used to love bars, now, she can't seem to keep the mill circle with any consistency. She'll get it once, and be unable to recapture it. Her coaches are perplexed. She's beyond frustrated. I just keep thinking - everyone says you don't need it after...

    Call Me Crazy But I Pay Someone Qualified To Coach!

    As a coach which gymnasts would you bend over backwards for?

    I have a hypothetical. You are a busy head coach with a family you have a gymnast that is pretty talented but works her rear off and has stated her goals to make it to level 10 which could be possible. You also have another gymnast who came along and is naturally super talented but very raw this...

    Can a Canadian Parent/Coach/Gymnast Answer This?

    Hi all, I was wondering what the qualifying score for Provincials is in P2. I know you have to be in the top 3 to get to Atlantics and be in the top there to get to Easterns, but I'm not sure about the qualifying score for Provincials. Thanks!
