Hi All, I am new to CB and this is my first online post ever. I hope I am doing this correctly.
My DD is 8 and is a level 3. Her team is competing and she is doing well. She absolutely LOVES gymnastics and would be in the gym 24-7 if she could. Right now it is just 6 hours a week. Some of the...
Have any of you (or your children/gymnasts) ever gone to this camp? I was looking at it because it costs just about the same amount as the college camp that is nearby. However, I could not find much info about it. If you/ your gymnast went, did you/they enjoy it? Would they go again...
I am 14 years old and a level 7, and this summer will be my first time ever going to a overnight camp. I am really nervous! It is at NC State University, but some other girls on my team are going, and my coach is planning on going too. She said that going to camp will be a good experience for...
We have thought about gymnastics camp for the last several years. The trouble is, it is very expensive and I'm not sure which to choose. We have coaches that prefer different camps, IGC or Woodward, both in PA.
I am wondering if anyone has a preference or can say that summer camp is...
I normally post in the parent section but got a very lovely message/comment from one of the gymnast members on CB since she could not post in the parent forum. Because of that I figured I would try posting something here... :D
I made a quick video of some fun things DD did over the summer in...
It's been a long time since I posted so here is an update.
After switching gyms in May, much progress has been made. Giants have been learned and are now done effortlessly. :DVault is really coming along. Tsuks are "ok" but DD prefers doing yurchenkos (spelling?) Straddle backs are done solo...
Hi all! I chatted a bit with Pepper on youtube and she wondered where we had been. So, with a few minutes to spare I decided I would catch up with all you.
We did not end up moving to Florida.... One happy Junior, the rest of us are in a bit of depression! However, dad did spend almost 4 months...
I was just wondering if anyone on here has coached at a summer camp for IGC? I was thinking about applying for next summer to get into their degreed coaching program, & I was wanting some info on it. What was it like? What exactly do they have you do in the program? etc.... Any info is GREATLY...
Hey everyone. I hope everyone's summer is going great. Elizabeth's been having a great time at camp. We tried something different this year, no sports, to give her body a much needed rest. She started with fashion, then switched to cooking and finished with sailing. It was a nice change of...
I've seen a few posts excited about the new skills our children are learning, and thought it's time to start a thread!
What skills are your children training right now? Are they close on some, struggling on others?
I talked to Bean before she left for gym this morning, and her training is...
This summer, things are going well, even though the girls were not happy about training on Friday nights. We used to only train M-Th in the summer.
Kelsey has been working hard on her bar skills and their dance/floor coach said her Fx routine is one of the best in the gym :D I'm really...
Daughter had a really hard time adjusting to training in the begining of the summer. Two weeks later she has turned into a different child she is so focused. Today she told when I picked her up that she told me she completed four bar routines for level 5. She said she did the whole routines...
Now that school is done here are some random questions which we can all answer about our summer training....
How many hours are you training each week this summer? Do you like summer training or do you like regular year better? Are you going to gym camp at all?
Hi!
I am going to have 4 weeks off gymnastics this summer (not my fault, my parents planned our vacations right before the coach's vacation).
I would like to come back as good as I can. What is the best way to do that? Completely rest my body? Do gym conditioning? Do another sport? I was...
So now that most gymnastics competitions are over, what are your summer vacation plans?
We are going to Punta Cana in the DR for a week. Can't wait. DD will miss week of gym.
She is loving the uptraining since states 10 days ago. She is working bhs, bhs on beam and is going it on the...
Hi, Im 17 and a current high school junior. Im a former club gymnasts thats been doing high school gymnastics. This summer I am probably going to a gymnastics summer camp. I live in Washington and am looking into Woodward West which looks great but I also wanted to know what camps there are in...
And this week is going to be too cold to swim outside (in my motherly opinion). Not too keen on the necessity of "dry land conditioning" for the children ... since their idea of fun is 20 straight minutes jumping their height on a trampoline etc.
For the life of me, why can't practice start...
This is my first time ever attempting to post a poll, so forgive me if I screw it up!
I have a lot of coordinated kids in rec who want a specific skill, but are held back by flexibility or strength issues. Common examples are back walkovers, pullovers, and backbends.
The structure of a 1...
We just got our summer schedule last week. DD stays 16hrs. Tuesday is her day off. M, TH and Fri she trains in the am. Wed. is in the afternoon. I think i like it.
DD has had a few meets since I posted last. She has really improved her floor and beam scores (L6) to consistantly be in...
