    Site Issues

    We have been having some issues over the past few days with the site crashing each morning at around 8:30 AM CST. I've been working to get it sorted out. Has the site been down for you guys on the last few mornings?

    Tiny gymnast with Stride Circle issues

    My little dd (6) is having a hard time with her stride circle thanks to her tiny hands. She has slipped off the bar several times on the way around and just seems to struggle with the hand rotation around the bar! Her coaches say her technique is good it's just her size. Are there any...

    Hello, I decided to give up my "lurking" Chalkbucket life and become a member: too many good questions and answers! Also, I have a pressing one of my own. I have not seen too many "form" questions addressed directly in posts here, yet this seems to be an issue that many gyms, parents, coaches...

    Major Email Issues

    I have had our email settings incorrect for quite some time now. I had it set to "auto-detect" and apparently it has been "auto-detecting" the wrong thing 90% of the time. Needless to say, most of the emails from or to the site have not been working. All of the "lost" emails were dropped...

    Behavioral Issues in the Gym

    Let me preface this post by admitting that I am feeling very emotionally raw right now. I almost posted in the parent forum but thought that it might help to also hear from some coaches. My daughter is 6, almost 7. She turns 7 in May. In my opinion, she should possess more self control than...

    Heel Stretch issues

    I have been working for the longest time to achieve my left heel stretch. The problem is if I lay on the floor, I can pull it no problem, but when I do it standing, I can't. Why may this be?

    Other coaches, how do I deal with a child who has behavioral issues in class?

    I teach a few different gymnastics classes at a recreational gym. I LOVE teaching the older kids (most of them are around 9 and 10) who really have an interest in gymnastics. They're great kids, and I feel confident teaching them what I know best. The 5-year-old class, however, I am incredibly...
