I was talking with a friend and we were talking about elites. Mostly about how hard it must be for a young lady to make it there. We were laughing about how hard it is for our own daughters to 'get' the BHS on beam, or the G-G-LO on bars.....giggle..elite girls have a different talent all...
Does anyone know anything about it? Last night, DS's coach talked to him about being on the team. I looked on USAG website, but I can't find anything about it. DS said this year it's going to be held in conjunction with American Cup. Does anyone know any details about the competition? I...
My daughter will never be an elite, but I enjoy watching the elite competitions and am trying to understand the difficulty score.
How much harder is it to go from a difficulty of , say, 5.2 - 5.4 in terms that a level 8 mom can understand? Is it like going from a level 4 to level 5 in JO? Or is...
I see this a lot. My kid is not anywhere near Elite.
But I am curious. What does being on an Elite path or Elite track exactly mean?
And where is the line from hoping to be Elite to actually be on track for Elite?
I am curious as to how many gyms out there actually coach elites? There are often posts where the poster mentions that their gym has many L10s and elites. I tend to be a little wary of those posts because there are a LOT of gyms in the US and not very many elites.
We live in an area with 3...
How do you handle other parents who shake their heads at the amount of time your child spends in the gym? My daughter is 7 and there 7 hours a week. That seems like such a short amount of time compared to some of your daughters. I just think they assume it's for the parents and not the kids but...
Bear in mind, my child is nowhere near either of these levels. But I read posts that talk about how girls stay at level 10 for 5 years...I am confused as to why they don't move on to elite and wondering what the differences are, as I know they must be big...I just don't get it. Do the gymnasts...
What a weekend... a 7 hour drive took 9 hours - the roads were horrific. I am so glad that my dd went with her coaches 2 days earlier. Trois Rivieres is right in the middle of Montreal and Quebec City. Thankfully my dh and youngest came with me. They went skiing while I went to the meet...
2 girls from my DD's gym will be competing, and we are wondering if anyone knows if there are links for live scoring or live streaming of the Novice events. Thank you.
I am really hoping that I'm not overreacting. But I'm hoping some coaches who train girls going this route or parents who's kids go this route can shed some light on this.
After several trials, my dd has finally settled HOPEFULLY at her new gym home. She'd expressed the desire to go the elite...
I attended US Championships last year and was struck by the very few number of gymnasts the U.S. had on the senior Elite level, and among them, how few were able to compete all around. There were only 15 Seniors competing and somewhere around 40ish juniors. This is a very high drop out rate...
Well it looks like they finally found a host for both Elite Canada in January and Nationals in May...
Lots of driving to Quebec this year...
Gymnastics Canada has confirmed dates and location of Nationals. This is way, way late compared with normal.
Artistic Nationals – Gatineau, Quebec – May...
I finally finished my video... so proud that my daughter made the score for Elite Canada. She will be competing in "no location yet" in February 2015.
She had an amazing meet....so many first.. her geinger, 1 1/2 off beam, switch ring, yurchenko layout, double back and double pike.... it was...
DD is having back problems due to tight muscles and some imbalances in her back. She is currently in PT. Saw this product and wondered if anyone had any experience with it.https://elitesportzband.com/
