    Anon How do I help my daughter focus on HER gymnastics, and not worry about what her teammates are or aren't doing?

    There is a girl in my daughters training group (training level 9/10) who is driving her crazy (they are both 12). She comes home most days complaining about how this girl cheats on conditioning, never doing full amount of reps and cheats on assignments, for example if they are told to make 3...

    Anon Injured Teammates

    I am a xcel platinum gymnast and my gym is not a real competitive gym so teamates aren't at every single practice. I am really close with two of my teammates and they are always at practice. They both recently got injured and will be out for a month+. I have talked to them and our coach said...

    Parents Annoyed - flyaway meet where only competitors were teammates

    Hi all - please give me a reality check on flyaway meets. We just returned from a weekend meet where we paid for flights, 2 nights hotel, and all the other stuff that goes along with travel to find that our only competitors were our teammates (in our age group). Is this normal? This is our 2nd...

    Anon Advice for when friends/teammates leave

    Through COVID DD has gotten really close with her gym teammates as they bubbled up together and basically were the only people outside of the house that they got to see. Her best friend and teammate just let her know her family is planning on moving away very soon and it is just crushing her...

    Fish out of water and our new teammates are awful girls.

    My 14 yo had a late start to gymnastics, but fell in love and excelled as a fast and vey dedicated learner. Started out in Xcel program, competed through Platinum last year, and then was invited to transition to JO this year (she’s definitely lvl 6, but one coach is saying she could even...

    Parents Jealousy of other teammates

    Hi, My DD who is 9 is competing level 4 for the first time this year (first competition is in Oct). She loves the sport and is practicing 4 days a week 14.5 hours right now. The issue is during the summer she was chosen to train with the older optional girls and she loved working the harder...

    WAG Problems with teammates

    So DD (8) switched gyms at the beginning of the summer. It seemed she had a hard time fitting in but I assumed it was because she was new and everyone would warm up to each other eventually. But it's 4 months in and things just seem to be getting worse. It's just your basic mean girl stuff. But...

    Parents Teammates cheering

    Our current gym really encourages teammates to cheer each other on at meets. Sounds great, except my daughter doesn't like when others are cheering her on. In fact, so much that is makes her self conscious and shy to the point where she doesn't want to even do the event at a meet. I'm not...

    Parents Child changed gym, now former coaching trashing him to his former teammates.

    (Sorry for the length, but I've never seen this issue addressed here) My son and I decided that another gym would be a better fit for my son. The previous gyms' head boys coach was a T&T guy, so he only wanted to coach great tumblers and he was not good teaching boys the other 5 events, and...

    Parents Moving up and leaving old teammates, adjustment fear/ sadness

    DD just got moved up from her L3 group to train with L5. (There is no L4). They are 1-3 years older and obviously further along. DD has done very well and none of her teammates moved with her. We are only 1 week in but the new girls (who she is familiar/ friendly with) have been very welcoming...

    WAG Keeping a child back to have teammates

    Experienced moms, coaches, owners... would your gym hold an individual gymnast back in order to keep her with a group of girls at a certain level and therefore have a "team"? We have a strange situation where there are no L6/7's at our gym right now. One girl has to score out of 8 and she...

    Hairstyle! Will I be judged by teammates and coaches?

    So at the moment I wear a ponytail to the gym, I have always wear a ponytail, never ever anything else. However, at the moment I am growing my hair out, and it is getting so long that I am frequently getting whipped in the face and eyes by it, which is very irritating, of course. I want to...

    Off Topic Christmas present ideas for gym teammates, coaches, etc?

    I would like to spend about $50 on 3 coaches. And maybe $10 on a bunch of little girls. I'm 14 years old. Any ideas? Gift cards or what?

    Parents How to deal with "mean girl" teammates?

    Both of my DDs are on the same team (level 4) and there are only 9 girls including them, so it's pretty small. There is another girl, same age, same ability and during the meets they all trade between 1st,2nd & 3rd place. This other girl has gotten very mean and snotty to my daughters' to the...

    Mean teammates

    How do you deal with mean teammates? There are some teammates I know who say one of their their teammates is bad, pushes them to the ground, sits on them, takes advantage of them, and are not encouraging at all. One if their teammates who has been bullied for months just quit because they...

    Optional gymnasts - Teammates doing parts of your dance with you in floor routines?

    In my teammate's floor routine she has one arm up by her head and one straight out in front of her and her legs are sort of in a lunge but all of her weight is on her back foot and she twists her hands twice and on the second time she bends her back knee (sorry for the complicated explanation...

    WAG Teammates?

    Hey! I am an optional girl at a very small gym. Im the only level 8. And ee have two level 7's. We have about 7 level 6's and we all practice together in one group. When I am practicing the other girls seem to always mess around and walk right in the way of me. Like for example i was...

    WAG From teammates to rivals to... teammates(?)

    Last night was the most surreal night of my gym dad adventure. I dropped my daughter off gym and headed out to volleyball practice and school shopping and the myriad other things that our busy family does every day. We show back up to the gym about 15 minutes before practice is through. My wife...

    Stubborn teammates.

    I'm a level 6 gymnast (training 7 in a couple of weeks, one last meet). The level 5s and 6s train as a whole. So we train on the same days and the same hours. My team, just the level 6s, we all get along pretty well. Except for the youngest girl, the whole level 6 team seems to have a problem...
