Hi, I have a question. We bought our girls a gymnastics bar with a 4" thick mat. Both are great. Unfortunately they can no longer use it as they are both beyond skills they can do on it. One of my girls is a level 5 and working on some 6 skills and the other is a level 7. This bar was...

I am looking for some new games that could be used for various rec classes (starting from preschool all the way up to the older kids who are in the gym just for fun). I like to try to work some skills into games and disguise the conditioning by making it fun. Any suggestions would be greatly...

I have a question on how Rec Optional can fit into possibly advancing into L7 (USAG) if at all. So my question is: Can you use a Rec Opt Advanced meet as some sort of qualifier for Optional L7 (USAG)? If it is a dumb question my apologies in advance!:confused:
