    Parents great. states conflicts with standardized tests. Kudos to the school though

    I realized yesterday that the dates for our state competition conflict with our school systems' standardized testing. I have never taken any of my kids out of school for a competition; but this one is about 5 hours from us, so I had planned to either skip school on that Friday or take them out...

    WAG High School Gymnastics?

    Why don't some states even accept gymnastics as a high school sport, where as some states make a big deal out of it? Also, how hard would it be to get gymnastics recognized as a sport.

    Parents How much school do your kids miss for meets?

    I got some flack from DD's teacher today because she will be missing half of Thursday and Friday. She's only missed 2 other days because of meets. I don't know I guess it just annoyed me. She (obviously) knows we live in an extremley rural area and we have to travel long distances. Unfortunately...

    Parents Considering a gym change - high school age coaches at the lower levels?

    DD will be 5 in a few months. She is currently on what her gym calls preteam, but this is the equivalent of developmental classes at most gyms. Her gym has level 2/3 compete some meets, so level 2/3 at her gym is considered to be team. I chose her current gym largely because her friend was...

    Parents How to juggle gym/school/life-and keep kids sane???

    Hi parents. I have a 6 year old pre-teamer who is in first grade at a regular school, does gymnastics 3 hours 3 times a week (on school days), and dance one day a week, also on a school day. The first month she has done great but I am starting to get complaints-about school being so long, about...

    WAG High school routine construction?

    Hey so I am thinking about maybe doing high school gymnastics this year. I actually know all the requirements you need for each event, how many superiors, etc. and the bonuses you need. But I have no idea how to go about actually constructing those routines with the requirements. It seems...

    Parents Homeschool gyms, back to school

    My daughter is part of our homeschool day training. Her brother goes to regular school, so we get him back to school supplies and clothes. For our DD, we get new leos, yoga pants, and sweatshirts. She still gets the joy of "back to school" and gets her pumped for the new season. She also...

    School ends too late for practice!!!!!!

    I get home from (private) school at 5:30. Team practice begins at 4:45 and if I wanted to compete (which I do!) I don't exactly know how I'd do this. Of course, I would talk to my coach but first I need to know whether this is actually reasonable. Of course I know that education comes first...

    MAG After High School

    Hi everybody, let me get right down to it. I've been doing high school gymnastics for two years now and regrettably this is my last year. During these two years I've improved a great deal. However I still don't think I'm quite at college level yet. So my basic question is, now what? I don't...

    Choosing Gymnastics Over School

    I recently applied to Stanford Online High School to take advanced courses and help my chances of being accepted to a good college. I was accepted, however, there was no way my family could pay the $9,800 per year attendance fee, so my parents agreed to apply for financial aid. With roughly a...

    School times + gym

    Ok. So, I'm switching schools next year (by next year I mean August, when school starts up again) and the last period ends at 3:20. I'll have gym at least Mondays & Wednesdays at 3:30, and from our house it takes 15 minutes to get to the gym. So, at the very earliest, I'll get there 10-15...

    4th High School meet

    Although I still post a fair amount on here, I haven't really posted much about my own daughter since she decided to retire from Club Gymnastics. She IS in her third year of competing for her high school during the winter season, and I am happy she has decided to continue doing that. She's...
