I've SO been enjoying watching my older DD start L5 during the past two weeks!:) After 15 months of L4...and not much uptraining...it is SO SO nice to see her learning new things! I just needed to share!
In just 2 weeks she has her whole beam routine (needs details and lots of polish!:o)...
Scarecrow66's thread has (indirectly) helped me clarify a question in my own mind about how parents may be able to tell whether their own DD is making "adequate" progress or not.
If you get no organised feedback (like at our club) and your DD is not competing (or in our case not even...
I just got back from gymnastics, and i feel like i made a lot of progress today!! First we went to beam. Well, i did really good on beam after i split the beam on my leap..., but i recovered from that and moved onto back walk overs. I finally got over my fear and did them on a medium beam by...
I am so amazed by my daughter. She is in her 2nd week of Level 5 practice and has improved so much!!! She almost has her arial, back walkover on beam and did giants tonight. What a huge difference from level 4.:D
I made a video last year that showed DD's progress from June 2007 - June 2008.
Finally finished this years! June 2008 - June 2009
Wanted to share . . . it's not as good as last years . . . but I'm happy with it :D

We may have hit a turning point!! Both girls are doing better on bars and even my oldest is being more positive (although she still refuses to admit that she likes the new coach (aka The Miracle Worker)!!
Kelsey has been improving not only her giants, but most importantly her attitude! The...
My dd has had a serious mental block with her bhs on beam. She will do a ro back tuck on the beam - but was afraid to jump backwards onto her hands. She will do bwo bwo though - it was just the jumping thing. It goes back two years ago when at a meet a girl was doing a bhs bhs and on the 2nd...
Well, T went back to gym last Sat after recuperating 1wk from her surgery. The first day back, the coaches did not have her do bridges or back tumbling. By Monday she was ok with BHS, but not BWO or bridges. Monday night she was supposed to have a 1/2 hr private with our specialty coach on...
hello all,
Olivia attempted her first back handspring without a spot at gym the other day. The head coach asked her to do it alone on a cheese mat. She was so nervous but the team girls encouraged her and she did it. Obviously she came home excited and wanted to show dad. I recorded it of...
My dd Olivia is 4 1/2 years old. SHe'll be five in April. She started gymnastics at the age of three and since then has been progressing at a fairly rapid pace. The owner of the gym that she was at started an advance preschool class and invited her to be a part of it. Three months after starting...

Do you have any kids that seem to progress in unusual ways? IE learning difficult skills with ease but having trouble with the easy ones?
One of my boys just got his front-full on floor tonight. He can't do a handspring front, and he can't do a back layout, but he can do a punch front-full. He...
