    Once again AT&T (Yahoo) has added ChalkBucket to it's email blacklist...this time MSN has joined also. This is a pretty normal thing since forums do send out quite a bit of email.

    WAG Grips/Callus Issue

    DD's coach has been focusing a lot of attention on her bars since this is her weakest event and she wants her to score out of 5 in May and move to 6/7 in January (most likely 7 as she has the skills, but for bars). However, because of this extra time on bars, her hands are very callused. This...

    Parents Worried- body image issues in 8 year old

    My 8 year old DD is having body image issues lately, saying her legs and arms look fat. This is devastating for me to hear because she is so beautiful and strong and thin. I tell her all the time how beautiful, strong, healthy, talented, smart, etc she is. I would love to hear from other...

    WAG Do vestibular issues come and go?

    My daughter had vestibular issues two seasons ago (L8). She was getting lost in the air on her fulls and even when her coach removed the fulls, she was twisting when she did not intend to do so. She would twist her whips or her layouts. By end of season, she seemed back on track. Last...

    Coaches 3 & 4 yr olds: listening and attention issues

    Gymnastics and the clothing issue

    Let's face it: gymnasts are a little bit off average in about every possible aspect. Now I like my body, I really do. But today on my mission to get a new T-Shirt I was quite close to shooting myself. Either they're so tight around the shoulders you can barely lift your arms anymore or they're...

    WAG Alternative schooling and issues with colleges

    I am hearing that the last couple of years that colleges are becoming pickier on what is accepted on transcripts. It sounds like they are coming down on home-schooling and alternative private schooling. Girls are trying to get scholarships but are being told that there are a number of credits...

    WAG Rope climb - what is the issue?

    DD can climb the rope with no legs and legs to the side all the way to the top, but she can't hold her legs in the pike. Her legs swing all over the place like a crazy person, which personally I think looks harder the way she is doing it. What is likely her problem? Lack of arm strength or is...
