    First off, thank you to everyone who took the time to read my last post and reply! We had a sudden, unexpected death in the family and I was unable respond as I usually would have. :( I do hope you all could give me your quick opinion. My DD is currently on a noncompetitive level 3 'team' at...

    Coaches Summer training Hours

    As a coach I am wondering about twice a day trainings for the summer. Do a lot of gyms do this in the off season or stick to the common four hour a day training. This is of course for optional gymnasts.

    Summer Dance Camp (Cross-training is always good!)

    My dd did a summer dance camp with her ballet studio. They learned a lot in just one week. Dd had a blast!!! She is the first one to come out in the white skirt in the first routine and then she is wearing light blue shorts in the other numbers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw8EVWeeCLA

    DDs went to a morning gymnastics camp this summer and loved it! It wasn't at our local gym and was more play than gymnastics but they had a ball and are already talking about wanting to go to another camp next summer. This has got DH and I thinking. We live away from family and don't get much...

    Tipping at Summer Camp

    My DD just spent the last week at IGC. My question is about tipping the counselors. The materials note that you should feel free to tip, but don't feel obligated. My question is - who should be tipped and how much? There are a couple counselor's in the cabin, but different instructors for each...

    how do you keep your gym cool in the summer?

    We live in the south - and the gym is having a hard time keeping it comfortable this summer. We have had an unusual year for record temps for so many days in a row, which doesn't help. With the a/c running the warehouse still won't cool below 85. very little wind/breeze so opening the bay doors...

    Parents WOGA Advanced summer camp

    For those of you who are interested Joscelyn started off a little slow, just sort of feeling things out. Once she got the hang of things she was able to keep up. Her Mom said at the end of camp that she was the best tumbler there, but definitely needs work on the bars and the beam. I say thats...

    Summer Conditioning/Flexibility

    Does anybody have some conditioning and flexibility work that I can do at home, during the summer. My club takes most of the summer off, and I want to stay in shape. If you have some sort of plan that I could follow, with numbers of each exercise, it would be helpful. Try and suggest something...

    Parents what trumps gym practice in the summer?

    That would be summer swim league, with dual meets on Tuesdays same as gym practice. About 20% of my daughter's gym team was racing in the dual meet we were at last night. And from what I can tell they are top swimmers. Very proud of them! Do you guys have any kids racing now, or in a few...

    Summer schedules?

    This will be our first summer on the team and I'm just curious how our gym compares to other gyms as far as summer schedules and rules about summer. Does your gym require camps or not allow camps? Our gym will only allow us to attend one of about 3 or 4 camps. We have two weeks of "gymnastics...
