    Hi, i have my second level 6 meet in two days. i did well on my first and the second wouldnt be that bad i guess the only thing is that we only had 1 practice between our 1st meet and this one because of labor day and breaks and things. we do have a mini-meet on friday but i dont know if that...

    Parents Weekend practice

    Hijacked from another thread... I don't know what we would do if one of our practices is on Saturday. Apparently, that happens at many gyms, including the one across town from us. FWIW, we like having the weekends to free up. It leaves a lot more options for what to do (or not to do) when...

    Parents Inappropriate Music during Practice?

    Ok, I don't expect to be able to shield my little girl from everything, but this issue has me flustered. My adorable little 7 year old came home from the gym singing a line from a Lady Gaga song called Love Games. The line? "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" And yes, that means...

    Injury - Out of practice for a few months

    Over the past 11 months I have been going at my gymnastics training furiously. Every day I give all that I've got. The next day when I feel as if nothing is left, I go out and find something to give. Sadly, the past month and a half I have had to back off due to a pain that had developed in...

    Practicing and Staying on Task

    I have an almost 7 year old that just joined a team in January, had her first competition in March and absolutely LOVES it. She did well at competition, I thought. However, she has a very frustrating habit of being the last girl to start drills, the first one to break position, the one most...

    Kid wants more practice and told no

    Ok, we got the summer schedule. As many of you know gymmie did not have a good state meet and did not get to regionals. So, she's been working her tail off on L9 skills----double back timers off bars, on floor, double twists on tumble trak, yurchenko timers. My gosh she even threw aside an old...

    One More Practice . . .

    DD has states early Saturday am, so only has a short practice on Friday. After she somehow falls off during her back hip circle on high bar (luckily, coach was able to reach her and grab her), so starts freaking herself out - what if I do that during the meet, what if I don't make it over the...

    Practice and Conditioning

    I thought it would be a good idea to post up some practice and conditioning routines we've done or are doing. I think sharing training how-tos will help since most of us adults are in open workouts or don't get coached as much as we like. And it'll help new gymnasts get an idea of what to do. I...

I told the coach that dd does gymnastics and she may have to miss a track practice or a...

    Bad Practice

    Eugh guys. I just had a retched practice last night. I was off on everything. The only thing I was doing well was my round off and handstand flat back into the resi pit. When I tried to move it to the high mat, nope, not so much, could barley hit the board let alone get myself up into a...

    Men Ages for MAG levels and practice times
