I've been lurking on this forum for a while, and I have appreciated the perspectives of parents who have been in this sport longer than myself. My daughter is an 8 y/o who just finished her Level 3 season. She has had several good friends who have been going to sleep away camps the past few...
I was hoping there are some European coaches here who would know of competitions that allow gymnasts from other countries to compete as either guests or sponsored by another club.
My daughter will either be going to International gymnastics camp or Woodward pa in 2022. She is 11 years old and will be travelling on a plane by herself from Australiato get there.
Any information would be helpful like
- Which camp is preferred
- how to travel by your self
- And how kids are...
CB has been a little slow on topics lately so I figured I would try to spark discussion.
I understand why some Americans do this as they have a better chance of competing in these competitions but I have a hard time getting past the "fairness" of it. And I know that's a loaded word but I am not...
Hi everyone,
I am a competitive gymnastics coach in Canada. Next year, as part of my university program, I have the chance to take part in an international internship, in any teaching-related context, for a duration of 6 weeks. I would love to use this opportunity to do an internship in a...

I'm 13 and I've never been to a gymnastics camp before and I'm wondering what the skill level of girls my age would be at IGC. I'm in Xcel Gold. Last year in Silver, I competed a round-off back-handspring and front handspring on floor. A pull over, cast backhipcircle, squat on, jump to high bar...
Hey! Long time no see! But now I’m back and I have a question to those who are more familiar with the FIG CoP. I’ve been wondering what routines would have the highest possible scores on each event? Like what skills would these routines have (highest difficulty) and what kind of connections? If...
A member suggested that we create a sticky thread that will work as a resource for gymnasts and parents who are looking for help, or support, when they are in crisis.
Please add any relevant links and phones numbers here. I suggest putting the country at the top of your post to avoid...
http://olympics.nbcsports.com/2017/04/05/aly-raisman-mihai-brestyan-coach/ What is the rule on contact with other coaches during meets? Is this a conflict of interest during international meets or as Aly says in this article "It might actually work out better". Just curious!

Hello All
I've done a far bit of reading on here so hopefully I won't ask anything that's already been discussed.
A bit of background. DD started gymnastics this year, did a term of kindergym and a term of development squad (pre team). I wasn't very impressed with the coaching at that...
Just wanted to share. This weekend 9 year old DS had an international competition in Germany ( which is of course easier when you are european) and he had a great time. Unfortunately he went wrong in his compulsory routine individualy but his voluntary routine went ok.
After that there was a...
So proud of my 8 year old DS.
He has just been in trampolining for 1,5 years now and doing so well his gym invited him to take part in an international competition in Germany.
A few weeks before competition his trainers found out Germany changed the compulsory routine which now included a baby...
