    Me and my sister were both at the gym on tuesday and she just had an off day. I felt so bad for her. She fell from like every app. On her straight leg pullovers she needed help and could get her birdie perch. On the floor she could'nt do her back walkovers, she fell off the beam twice and...

    Level 5 HC came up to me yesterday while I was picking up the girls. She said that she wants DD2 on level 6! Since the compulsories compete in the late winter\early spring, she might be able to get some competitions in. She is going to do one practice tonight and HC will see how she does. Can...

    Parents crying at practice

    My dd started team practices in Oct and I have noticed something that is bothering me alot. I hear from her coaches and by looking at her face after practice that she has been crying. She cries almost everyday while steching her over splits in straddle. She has never had to do them until...

    My first practice results

    So I just got back from my first practice. And it was... AWESOME! :D I got to the gym and was so exicted to see my friends and coaches. I handed the 50 page folder to the HC (doctors...yeesh) for him to look at. Basically it's 50 pages of things that simplified could be put on a napkin...

    What do your gymmies wear in the winter months at practice?

    Hi! I was just wondering what your gymmies wear at practice during the cold winter months. I would assume long sleeved leos, but what about under armour shirts or leggings??? I am a new gym mommy and I only know what the kids wore at cheer practices during winter--lots of long sleeved shirts...

    Parents hours of practice not a concern

    I was happy to hear today when my daughter went to the doctor for her yearly checkup that the amount of hours she will be practicing this year is not excessive or a cause for concern. My daughter is 8 and will practice 4 days a week for about 13 hours plus meets. When I talk to friends and...

    Parents Would you take another kid to/from practice?

    First, let me say this is not a carpool. This family will never, ever provide any transportation. (FWIW, I would LOVE a carpool). You would need to take this teammate to/from every single practice, but it really isn't more than a few blocks out of the way. You are in the habit of taking kids...

    Parents Do your kids do all 4 events each practice?

    I was just wondering if your kids (especially those doing level 5 and up) train on each event at each practice? We seem to only do three at a practice plus conditioning/tramp etc. We seem to do bars the least and my dd struggles on it. Does you gym have a way of helping gymnasts who struggle...

    Parents Practice during school?

    My two daughters' coach just notified us that the final practices before states (I have one level 4 and one level 5) will be during school hours :mad:. She said it is because of the travel time on Friday evening. I still don't think it's right. I am constantly telling my girls, "School comes...

    Coaches practice bar recommendation

    My new level 5 is has asked for a practice bar for her birthday. Does anyone have recommendations in terms of brand or type? I have looked at the Jr. Kip which extends to 58 or 60 inches high and a Gibson bar that goes to 48. They seem quite pricey- so I'd like to make a good investment (or...

    Parents I took my daughter to our other level 4 girls practice last night (rant)

    Okay let's just say I seriously think that the gym thinks they can just cut practice and not make up my daughter's practices anytime they want and expect parents not to get made when they pay fees for 3 practices a week. We pay 150 a month which is 20 more dollars than the 2 day a week groups...

    practice is fun...no, really!

    okay, so I mentioned earlier that my 7 yo has moved up a level. Her coach told me today though that she still needs to work on her pull-ups and getting her hips to stay straight when she's doing the splits. I mentioned this to my daughter and she looked less than overjoyed. How can I get the...
