Bear with me I have a few questions....
*I had a very interesting conversation with another mom while watching part of our daughters' practice. I guess I'd rather get some reality based answers from other parents to help me identify if I do need to bring any of this up with her coaches or...
I am a mom of a L2 gymnast (first year competing) As a family we have gone through this before with our son. He competed in the past 2 years L4 and one L5 before he decided to move on to new things. So far girls gymnastics is quite a different experience than men's gymnastics. We look forward...
Hi,
We live in Southern California. My daughter is a later starter. She is 8 and is in a pre-team/developmental program.
I am finding it very hard to figure out the whole world of competitive gymnastics and my daughter's place in it. She loves gymnastics. I want to under the culture and...
This is my first post. Sorry it is such a long one.
My daughter started gymnastics at age 6.5 in a city recreation program. After about 6 months, she went to a private gym. After about 4 months, they invited her into their pre-team program at level B. The next level up is A, then the team. The...
Hi, I'm a mom of a 7 yr. old level 5 gymnast. DD has been doing gymnastics since the age of 19months and lives and breathes gymnastics. Most of the girls in her level are at least 2 yrs older than she is and she is small for her age which makes me quite nervous this year. It was a big jump...
Hi everyone!
I'm the mom of a 6-year-old Level 2 gymnast. I never did gymnastics as a child so I'm trying to learn all the terminology and the ropes. Looking forward to gleaning as much info from everyone here as I can.

Hi All,
My dd is 4.5 and has been doing gymnastics for 9 months. It turns out, she is good and she loves gymnastics! The club/gym we've been going to wants to get her on the pre-team as soon as she is 5. This is all new to me. We're not a gymnastics family (or even a very athletic family)...
Hi - I have two boys (5 & 6) who have been in gymnastics for 3 years. They are currently on a training team practicing 3 hours/week and working lots of strength & some Level 4 skills. I coached girls gymnastics for many years & am looking forward to meeting other parents/coaches who like to...
Just thought I'd share what's been going on with my older DD...and just to be upfront, I am not asking for medical advice, we have been to TWO doctors!;)
DD is 9 and a level 5 gymmie. She's been complaining of knee pain on and off for a couple months. I think it is from the extra stress of...
:cool:I am a mom first to a 15 year old trampolinist and tumbler. She has been in the trampoline and tumbling program for 9 years. She is a level 9 tumbler and level 10 trampolinist. She loves the program. I have been a coach and judge for 3 years. I love it. We just returned National...
I just found chalk bucket and after reading for a few days decided to join.
I have a 5 year old Level 4. DD started gymnastics about a 1.5 years ago. She was asked to join Level 4 in March and has done so much better than I expected. She has all of her floor, beam and vault skills, but...
Most of you know about Em's struggles with the vault and the backhandspring. :(
Well, tonight she threw her ROBHS without a spot on the floor by herself several times. She never hesitated. :)
On the tumble track, she vaulted to a handstand. It looked so good. She did an awesome job. :) I am...

I noticed there were a lot gymnastics mom's on this board. I am not a mom but was wondering what does dd mean? dear daughter? dedicated daughter? somebody fill me in :p Were you a gymnast when you were younger and how did your child get into gymnastics?
My daughter was just accepted onto the Level 3 team at our gym. She has been in gymnastics for 2.5 years now and turned 5 in April.
She's excited, I'm nervous! She'll move up from 3 hours/week to 4 hours/week, with some additional times available throughout the season.
I'm just here to...
So in the grand scheme of things, not a huge deal but WOW did this mom annoy me tonight. She has always been on my "crazy" radar but she took the cake tonight!
Monday J and some of her L3 teammates started L4 practice (moved up) Well tonight my older DD had a tumbling class so I happened to...
Hi! So happy to have found this site. Looking forward to learning alot of info. My daughter has only competed in non sanctioned meets so far. She will start the sanctioned meets in September. She has all of her skills in level 4, she just needs to get them more consistent. She will be...
after all the struggling with back walkovers until just recently.
Little Emily got her back handspring on medium high beam last night like she had been doing them forever.
WE are still repeating level 6 next fall because back tumbling has not gotten better and she is still not connecting her...
