    Parents Summer Hours

    DD is turning 8 in September and competing L4. She was fast tracked and trains with girls doing L6/7 since we have a small gym. For summer she has some flexibility and I am looking for guidance on a good number of hours that would help her improve but not burn out or get injured. Other L4s are...

    Parents For those with gymnasts who DON'T look forward to summer training....

    I've noticed so many posts where parents mention that they and their kids love the end of the comp season when uptraining begins and the kids learn new skills. BUT, I have never had the pleasure of this. I was inspired by another post to give a shout out to any parents whose kids are the exact...

    WAG OU Summer camp

    It looks like the OU camp is sold out. I tried to call to see how to get on the wait list for the commuter camp but it's not letting me. Any ideas or suggestions? I have emailed and called the contact number but no response yet.

    Parents Question about summer schedule

    This will be our first summer of team gymnastics and I would very much appreciate some insight please. At what point do gyms typically decide who moves up to the next level and who stays? My almost 7 year old dd joined pre team in January and is currently practicing 4 hours per week. Our gym...

    WAG Good summer gymnastics camps for L8 and up?

    So a couple of us were wondering what camps are recommended by CB community......my son did IGC a few years ago and loved it..... I have heard mixed things about Flip Fest.....but seems more of a fun camp experience for younger athletes. Maybe more of a College camp, or good Elite gym camp like...

    Parents "Holiday" and Summer schedules

    I am incredibly frustrated with the need to change schedules during the holidays and summertime. This has happened at every gym we've been at. We have two working parents and we already rearrange things to make her gym schedule work. For the holidays the entire schedule gets rearranged...

    WAG Does your Gym get Crazier after the summer/during the summer Olympics?

    So, 4 years ago this summer my dd was in her first ever rec class. As the session was close to an end we were asked to move to team, I wasn't sure this was what we wanted to do and I inquired about taking a few weeks to talk about it and decide if we would go that route or just sign up for...

    Parents Summer "camp" at another gym ok?

    My 5 year old DD, who is currently on pre-team, goes to a daycare/daycamp around the corner from our house in the summer since my husband and I both work fulltime. We were wanting to switch it up and find some other camps for her to go to this summer and a different local gym offers a day camp...

    Summer Training

    I'm new to this site and the artistic world (power tumbling was my thing) so I hope someone can give me some advice. Our club closes down for 4 weeks over the summer which seems like a long time. My DD struggles with being sore and lost moves when she returns in August. Should I put her into a...

    MAG missing summer practice

    This is a mirror of a thread on the WAG forum. DS the elder is also a serious musician. He was accepted into a prestigious music festival for 5 weeks this summer, with a big scholarship. There's really no question that he will attend (we of course discussed that before the labor intensive...

    WAG Summer vacations and level 9/10

    In the past, we've taken many long vacations without ramification. Throughout my DD compulsory career and up to last summer when she trained level 9, we've taken at least 3 weeks off for overseas vacation. The coaches were never very happy about this but she has aleays managed to regain her...

    Parents Summer practice hours

    So my DD has team tryouts at the end of May (she is on Preteam now). She's been so excited about making team! A few weeks ago I asked one of the L3 moms what summer practice was like schedule wise, and she said it was the same as during the school year. Well, I definitely asked the wrong...

    WAG Summer Camp for younger gymnasts

    My DD but gym standards won't be young at 9yo this summer but it is for me in terms of her being possibly far away with strangers. How do other parents handle sending kids to sleep away gym camp? And coaches, how do you feel about your team going to these camps? We did a 5 day last year with our...
