    Women How is your gym's practice structured at low compulsory level?

    I have a question about what your gym's practices are like. This our first year doing team. Our gym places all 6 yr olds regardless of ability on level 1 to start competing, and they only move up one level each year depending on state score at the end of meet season. When I asked about this...

    Women Great Practice Last Night

    I don't usually watch but there was a fundraiser meeting so I got to see a the girls tumbling last night after the meeting. For the first time Alex did a ROBHS-half and was sticking it!. She then went on to do a FHS Front Lay Out! So cool to see some new tumbling! Not sure what will be put...

    Coaches Parents Upset About Saturday Practices

    I come from a smaller gym in Southern California that has recently grown this past year. We doubled the amount of girls we now have on team competing compulsory which is now requiring 3 coaches to attend competitions on the weekends (20 Level 2's, 25 level 3's, 15 level 4's, 4 Level 5's). This...

    Women Practice Level 5, Compete Level 4

    My daughter competed old level 4 last year and moved up to the new level 4 this year. She almost has her kip, almost her double back hand spring, and absolutely loves the new routines. She probably falls within the middle 50% of her skills ability with the other girls, some skills better...

    After practice snacks

    Usually when I get home from my one hour (rec) class, I'm really hungry. So I pig out on junk food, like donuts, or candy bars, without realizing. Then I regret It later, thanks to sugar crashes and not feeling so hot the next day. Keep in mind my class is 6-7 PM. So I was wondering if you could...

    Are practice beams a good idea?

    DD is hassling me to buy her a low practice beam from ebay. They seem very similar to the floor beams they use at gym but much shorter. They're quite expensive and I can't see much point in getting one shorter than 8ft (although I've no idea where to store it....will worry about that later)...

    Women How old is a child expected to take things seriously at every practice?

    I just had a mommy meltdown with DD today due to her excessive talking with her friends at gym. Let me preface my situation. I am NOT a cgm who pushes my DD to perform. I love my children regardless of what they do. But sometimes, and it is usually tied to when I have to write a big check to...

    Women Wisdom Teeth and Practice

    Okay, I had my wisdom tooth out on friday and my mouth is still very sore, I have taken every training since then off, and now want to go to training. My question is, will training potentially do more harm - I have heard exercise can make the wound bleed again. Basically, do any of you have...

    Parents Poll: how many parents ask their kids to practice/stretch/condition at home?

    My mom (who is a bit of a CGGM) seems to think I should be making my 7 year old level one daughter practice at home. She will start competing in the fall at level ONE. Is this normal? How many parents do this? It is kind of my opinion that if she wants to do stuff, she will, and if she doesn't...

    Practice Clothes? (Girls)

    Okay, so I usually wear Nike pro compression shorts (spandex) and a t-shirt. Or Nike dri-fit shorts. Most girls wear spandex and a T-shirt or a tank. They only wear leos if they're level 5+ or just not often. Nike shorts get caught on the bar so I always wear spandex now to gymnastics but shorts...

    Women Extra time for practice.

    Hey everyone! I have just moved up to level 3 a couple of days ago, and they're training me to start competing 4 in the fall (hopefully). I only have practice 2x a week for an HOUR each and it's really annoying me because I need more time to work on my new skills. And for anyone wondering, we...

    Women Specific practice routine

    I went back to gymnastics this year after taking two years off, I'm on my high school team. I want to work on more skills for next high school season, so I go to an adult class 1-2 nights a week. It's mostly like an open gym for adults, with some coaches there to help you if you need it...

    Parents Going to practice sick

    So how sick is sick??? I know parents who send their kids to practice with fever. I know parents who wont send their kids to practice with the smallest ailment. I also know quite a few drama queens, who say they are bed ridden with a cold. And yes, we ALL hate it when there is a kid at...

    Women Vent: Horrible practice

    Today was one of the worst practices I've ever had. To start off, my coach told us she had some bad news for us. We have 2 more weeks with her, and then she's being switched to another location. She is the best coach I've ever had, and I'm so upset that she's leaving so soon (I've only had her...

    Men Crying at practice

    Hi My son is 8 and this seems to have become more regular lately. He has had a new coach since Dec. It is embarrassing for him in front of his mates but he cant control it. It is always concerned with tumbling as he finds this really difficult. I can see his coach is frustrated that he is not...
