    Parents Slow progress at lower levels

    My daughter told me that she doesn't think she is good at gymnastics. She is only 7, level 2. This will be her first year competing, but she has been in a succession of pre-team type classes for more than 2 years. She is training with a group of girls that are training level 3 and she is the...

    WAG No progress on vault

    Vault is by far my worst event, I'm training level 10 but my vault is not up to level. I have been training tsuk layouts for over a year now and they have not improved at all. I then switched to tsuk tuck full for a couple months and it was going quite well but me and my coach decided it would...

    Parents Daughter - 7 year old - No progress

    Hello all, My daughter started gymnastics 9 months ago (September 2021). She had about 80 hours of classes (2 classes per week). I don't know what they do during class because it's behind doors. Sometimes, when the class was almost over we could see the children going through a sort of...

As a silver, she practiced 8 hours a week, bumping up to 12 in April. She is training 15 hours over the summer then...

    Parents Coach not letting gymnast progress

    My daughter is an excel gold gymnast. The past 1.5 years she has been working on her back tuck with both private lessons and during open gym. After a couple months of great back tucks into the pit, she got the courage to try them on the floor. They look great. Nice and high and safe. She did...

    Parents Backhandspring progress

    My daughter basically was allowed at our previous gym to teach herself her BHS. When I finally learned enough about gymnastics to know this was not a good thing and for various other reasons we changed gyms. This gym is working on fixing her BHS. It could be the most painfully slow thing I have...

    WAG perfect methods and reps for fast skill progress

    I was wondering if there is a certain number of reps that is best for fast progress (skillwise not strengthwise). Let's take easier skills like the Kip, Free Hip to Horizontal, Back Handsprings, Back Tucks, Cartwheels on Beam etc... how often is ideal to train them? So each practice 20 of...

So she will stay with us for at least 2 months. My niece Annie is already 14 years old. She has been a dancer and a swimmer from age 5-10...

    Parents slow and steady progress from my 5 year old

    My daughters are both in developmental preschool-aged gymnastics classes- think pre-pre-team. The classes are taught by team coaches and theoretically lead into the competitive team, if all goes well. I had them in the rec classes at first, but decided to make the switch because the...

    WAG which event is the easiest to progress for you?

    title says pretty much everything... which of the 4 events in WAG is the easiest to progress in? Many of my teammates, and I also share this opinion, say that bars is the easiest, because you just need the strength and once you are strong and dedicated to learn, it's all about technique which...

    WAG amazingly quick progress - what is the secret?

    Last month a girl (she has done power tumbling for some years but has never been on a very high level) joined our gym. She started at Level4, because she couldn't do any bar skills, although with her tumbling skills she would have been at least a Level6. Anyways, this was 6 weeks ago. When I...

    Parents How much progress would you expect after 4 months...

    My youngest dd has been in her new group 4 months now and is loving it, I am very pleased with the amount of progress she has made in her strength and flexibility considering she only goes once a week.
