Hello everyone. I have been reading chalk bucket for a while and it has helped me with various gymnastic stuff. My dd is 9 and competing L7, she will turn 10 this year. I hope she does well since the age groups are large at this level. I just tell her to do her best. My dd has been doing...
Hi there,
My name is Cassie and I have a 7 year old daughter that is competing level 3 currently. I've read the board a few times but thought I would join to maybe get some tips.
She loves it! Eats, breathes, sleeps gymnastics. She has been taking for 2 years. Hope to learn somethings...
I know many people don't ready the Intro posts so I wanted to take the time to introduce myself directly to all of the other parents.
I have been a long time lurker and have finally taken the time to post for the first time (I am a serial procrastinator - LOL). My DD is a Level 4 gymnast. She...
Hello everyone. I have been a long time lurker and have finally taken the time to post for the first time (I am a serial procrastinator - LOL). My DD is a Level 4 gymnast. She just turned 6, right in time for her first meet in a couple weeks. She has been involved in gymnastics since she was...
Hi there,
I have four girls in gymnastics (don't even ask about my gym bill:p) I have a 5 year old in level 4, a 7 year old in level 5, 9 year old in level 7, and a 3 year old in advanced pre-school.
Glad to be here!
Hi everyone!
My name is Annie, I have been a lurker here for a long time, and finally got the guts to join!:p I have triplets aged 7 who are a level 5\6. They have been doing the sport since they were about 3. It is good to be here!:)
Annie
Gymmie told me last week she asked her coach if she could take the 4" mat off the low bar when she did her bailes(aka shoot half). Ok, I flinched a little, but then she said the coach said ok, but was spotting her. She came flying in the house last night and said she had a new skill. She is now...
Hi everyone,
My name is Marisa, and I have been a long time lurker at this website and finally decided to sign up!. As you can probably tell by my username, I have 7 year old triplets, Leah, Hannah and Matthew who are on the level 5\6 team. A 5 year old daughter Kayla who is on the...
Well, DD has been begging to do soccer for at least a year (she had played in a small indoor rec class when she was 4). We have finally caved in !! We found a rec league that is very laid back in a nearby town. She can still play in the games if she misses a practice and it is not a big deal...
I thought long-sleeve leos were required in competition???.... so why did I see Olympic gymnasts in sleeveless tanks to compete??
The one who sticks out in my mind at the moment is Vanessa Ferrari. I've asked people I know here and don't seem to get a straight answer.... so I figure I'll ask...
HI Everyone!!!
I am so excited to have found this great site. I am Michelle mom to Mya who is 6. We started gymnastics August 2007 when Mya was 5. We had never done it before and we just moved to NC and she always showed skills in gymnastics. Her arms are so strong and she taught herself...
On this afternoon's local news, a mom has been arrested for punching her daughter's cheerleading coach. Apparently the coach refused to move the daughter to another cheerleading squad so the mom hauled off and hit her. Psycho! What is WRONG with people??? :eek:
I am totally weak. DD is at camp Sun-Sat. They cannot have cell phones or call home. Parents can call and they will page them and you can try and reach your child at certain hours. It will killing me, I had to call on Monday (the first real day) and see how she was. It is very hard to get...
Hi All, I was on the forums for quite a while several months back - mostly lurking. But the life got too busy and I couldn't keep up with the messages. Well, I'm back, looking for some kinship with fellow parents.
DD is 7 and made the rookie team this summer. In our gym in NC, they compete...
I need some advice. I need to know if I am being one of those ‘crazed gymnastics’ moms! And I know you ladies will tell me the truth!
DD is at camp this week at Lake Owen. It is her 3rd year. She loves it every year.
As you may know, they ask you what skills you can do when you come in...
My dd got her mill circle today. The coach spotted her on one and realized she was basically doing it on her own. She had her try again unspotted, and SHE GOT IT!!!! She moved to level 3 in June. She has taken the ideas off of this site from coaches on the mill circle and used them. Thanks...
I love being a gym mom. Taking the kids to the gym, coming back, cramming in homework while eating dinner. I love the craziness of getting ready and doing hair. See them march in on the floor. Tell me, what is your favorite part of being a gym mom?
Hi my daughter is just in the preschool program at her gym and we are new to gymnastics. I don't know much about it so I found this forum and thought I'd join. Hopefully it will be helpful to us. She LOVES gymnastics and goes twice a week because I can't get her to leave. I danced all my life...
Hi everyone!
I'm new here and just introducing myself:)
I have twin girls named Leah and Alexis, they are both level 5 with some level 6 skills.
Hope to meet everyone here :D!!
Hi Everyone,
I am a newbie to the boards and to gymnastics. My 4 1/2yo daughter has been involved with a toddler program since age 2 and is now on pre-team. Heres my question for you all.... at what age do they start putting them on high-beam? Last night, my daughter was asked to go onto...
