    So My Daughter Wants to Compete

    My daughter is ten. She's been doing gymnastics for the past 7 months (rec levels). She wants to live at the gym. We started with one rec class and now I've put her in three and she's forever "practicing" at home. She'll even do push ups and sit ups on her own because she's seen the competitive...

    Parents Vent, Daughter's floor routine is driving me Crazy!

    My daughter had a great floor routine choreographed last year, at great expense when she was in level 7, our floor coach at the time had made the decision that all optional routines would only have 2 tumbling passes, so that's how it was choreographed. My daughter had to have surgery before the...

    Parents Daughter quit gymnastics this week .............

    My daughter has been competing in gymnastics for the last three seasons and she is 10. At the end of last season we moved to a different gym. Her prior gym only trained the daughter of one of the other coaches and gave no feedback or training to the rest of the girls. They would talk while the...

    Parents When your daughter is the youngest in the group

    My 9 year old DD is a very quiet and hard to get to know type of personality. It takes a little for her to open up for her to show her true personality. She just finished up level 5 and is the youngest in her training group by 2 years. Today in class for the last 15 min. they were having...

    Parents Anyone else's daughter going to Karoyli's Camp this summer? June 28-July 3 session?

    Just curious if any other parents might be staying in the area while their daughters attend camp at Karolyis' Camp in Houston June 28 - July 3? I figured there might be other out-of-state folks interested in getting together - or even sharing hotel or car rental? Just going out for dinner or...

    Parents Bent legs in all skills-frustrated mom and daughter

    My 7 year old daughter has bent legs in vault, bars, and beam. She is xcel bronze, 2nd year competing. Last year she competed level 2 but only one competition. Her coach told her she is going to get big deductions for them. She is an overachiever and tries so hard to get it but I honestly don't...

    Parents Daughter getting left behind

    My 12 year old daughter (level 8 last season) joined our current gym a year and a half ago. They put her in the "special" group since she has a lot of talent and potential and did well in previous seasons. She did well, but not fantastic last season (placed at states but missed making...

    Parents How to deal with a grandma who won't stop trying to "coach" my daughter??

    My mother is pushy with my daughter about gymnastics. She watched a demonstration they did recently, and after it kept trying to tell her how to kick, point your toes, come over here and show me how you do it right. This kind of thing happens all the time, like after a meet or whenever my...

    Parents Daughter made team--but how does this dinner thing work?

    My daughter, who has been in rec classes for 10 months, was asked to join the level 3 team. We're all very excited, and she starts next week. The schedule, though, is 4:30-7:30 two nights a week, and 5:00-8:00 a third night. We eat dinner on at 6:15pm, on the dot, all together, so this will be...

    So we are checking out new gyms this summer. Currently my daughter is 4 but her current gym has her working with girls who are 5-7 years old because DD has mastered the skills and because there is no pre team or anything to put her into. When I call gyms, they offer to have her try a class...
