My 4 year old daughter has been in rec/preschool gymnastics since the fall and she loves it. She wants to do the developmental/pre-team program, and I'm considering enrolling her in the fall. Her current gym teacher says she is doing well, and says she would recommend her for the program.

*I posted this in a diff. forum to start, not sure it was the right one :) So I am double posting!!!
I have been a lurker here for a while. I am unlurking! I guess I am not sure if I need parent support or help, anything we have not tried yet would help...LOL?

For the past four days I have been unable to access the CB through Chrome (mu usual choice) or Mozilla. I can access it with IE, but IE gives me all sorts of headaches. Is anyone else having this issue?
Hello Everyone!
As you gymnasts know, in gymnastics you need lots of flexibility and well let's say, I don't have it!
My bridge is HORRIBLE, I can do my right leg split, but not my left or box split. I lack shoulder flexibility and back flexibility, and I really want to improve my flexibility...
I don't think I will ever be able to go to training in a leotard and shorts.... ( I normally wear leotard shorts and a t-shirt)
How can I become more confident with myself?
Anyone else have this embarrassment?
Please just help!
I will appreciate it lots
Okay so we have recently undergone a change in coaching at the gym and we are having issues with our current coach. She is a lovely person don't get me wrong, she is really nice and all but the problem is her inconsistency, mood swings and she is too much friend not enough coach.
Me and my...
I've been taking my daughter to the same gym for the past several months and it is the best program I have found in this area (and we have tried them all). After coaching for 17 years, my standards are probably a little higher than the average gym parent. I closed my gym a few years ago due to...
OK. I know this sounds really lame, but here is what happened.
I was doing tsuk drills onto a mat and fell upside-down backwards on my head and hand. I didn't hear any cracks, though I was paying attention to my head- the floor behind the mats is carpet and concrete. It hurt quite bad and...
How come you are able to watch replays of every other sport on the NBC website EXCEPT gymnastics? I was not up at 1:30am or 6:40am (PST) when the first two groups of the women's qualifications were going on and was hoping to be able to watch when I woke up, but unlike every other sport, there...

A couple months ago I started having shoulder pain. When it didn't go away, I went to get it checked out.
Apparently my shoulder could have tendinitis, bursitis, or even be subluxated. Because of this, I'm not allowed to do bars until I found out what's wrong. As much as my hands are grateful...
I recently took over a group of mixed level girls (older, like 11 & up and ranging from just completed L4 to L7 to all stars)...and I am trying to help "fix" some of the issues they are having.
One main issue is: I have several kids who can NOT kip cast. They are just having a hard time...
Hi All,
This is my first time posting. My daughter is 6 years old and has been doing gymnastics for two years. She is on a team which is preparing for level 5. She can do all of the skills, however, her form is not great. For example, no matter how many times the coach (or I) remind her to...
My daughter has had her kip for about 8 months, has competed level 5 successfully, but continues to do something bizarre during her kip which is making everyone scratch their heads. She shifts one wrist and not the other, thus creating an arm bend on that arm. Any suggestions??? She is very...
If anyone is having issues with posting on the cb using the Tapatalk app can you please post full details of your issue. Trying to see if this is a one person issue or an app issue.
We have a girl (Level 6) that has the natural talent that everyone wishes they have, but there are a few problems after that that are preventing her from "being her best self"
1. Got her level 5 skills no problem, but would frequently score mid-8's because of her form and body shapes. Parents...
The meet turned out pretty good. She wiped out on low bar at the endof practice for some reason, got the wind knocked out of her and hurt her ankle. Couldn't practice on Friday, but competed on Saturday. I was proud of her for getting through everything. Landed her vault in warmup but not...
My coach says i am physically strong enough to cast to handstand but I'm too dang scared!Im afraid that my arms will give out causing me to face plant and mess up my neck (silly i know lol).I can do it fine with spot but when it comes to doing it alone i only make it to a little above...
