    Training and Competition videos

    I know there is a big mix of new and seasoned parents and gymnasts here so I wanted to post a playlist of videos that shows my gymnasts training and competing. It's always fun to see what other JO kids do for training and drills, and competition videos are fun too! YouTube - Beechurst10's...

    Parents ROBHS Training

    Last year when my DD was on the Tiny Team I noticed that half the Level 4 competing group could not do their ROBHS at this time of the year. By the time the first meet rolled around only one of that group of 5 competed the skill, 2 of them did not compete the skill at all last year. Now my...

    Warning! Dangers Of At Home Training!

    I'm concerned to learn about gymnasts doing at home training. Gymnastics can be a dangerous sport without proper instruction. Although many companies sell so called "home equipment", there is a risk of serious injury to gymnasts who use this equipment in improper ways. Parents, be sure your...

    How much strength training do you/your kids do at the gym? I'm asking just to get a feel of how much my gym does. We do 30 minutes per practice, 3 days a week. That comes out to 1 hr 30 min a week, which is 1/8 of our total practice time. This is for level 4's and 5's. Sometimes it seems like...

    A good diet for training.

    I've been told I need to "Eat to train, and train to eat." How do I do that? I know that I need a lot of protein and complex carbs, but does anyone have an example of a good diet? I need to loose a few pounds. I'm five foot and around 119. =D Thanks so much.
