    Hi. I'm a tenth grader who is looking in to high school gymnastics as a third sport and to serve as cross-training for soccer and fastpitch softball (im a pitcher and I'm hoping this will strengthen my muscles).

    Parents School Day Meets

    The final time slots aren't posted, but it looks like DDs session at Christmas on the Chesapeake is going to be on Friday. Depending on the time of day, it's going to be at least an hour drive to get to the meet location. So, I think there's a pretty high likelihood that she's going to miss...

    Parents Update on School and gymnastics

    Parents DD's "school parent" drama...

    Ugg, I need a small parent vent! I hope it's ok here! I am also soliciting advice if there is any. Do any of you deal with this? DD is at a relatively large elementary school (approx 300 students). I think there are 3 total team gymmies there (and none are in her grade), though a few do rec...

    School absences

    How do you handle absences for out of state competition? In Texas, most schools will consider it unexcused and require work to be turned in prior to leaving or receive a "0" for the assignment. This is really tough for kids in high school. Is there a way around this other than calling your child...

    Parents School & gymnastics?

    How do you guys balance it? Especially with those of you whose daughters or sons are training 16+ hours per week. Belle's gym is an hour from our house & she trains 16-18 hours/ week; four weekdays & 1 weekend day. Last year I pulled her out of school 30 minutes early on gym days, which...

    Pros and cons of sports outside of school

    I just thought maybe we could list pros and cons of gymnastics being primarily an out-of-school sport. We do not have high school gymnastics where I live, and I don't think I'd want to take time away from my team even if we did. However, there are benefits to doing sports in school as well. It...

    My school essay - The scoring system used in gymnastics needs to be changed.

    Just to let y'all know, i earned a 93 on this essay! And also, it was written by a young teen, so don't be too harsh ;) The scoring system used in gymnastics needs to be changed.
