    Gymnasts Tryouts?

    Hi, I previously posted here a few months ago and got great advice. Still, now I'm in another dilemma, I did a trial gymnastics class(a few of those) for weeks before I decided to ask to try out for the xcel team, but now I've decided that tryouts are in a week, so I might as well try out. I...

    WAG Tryouts at gyms

    Hi, My daughter wants to switch gyms. She had an evaluation at two gyms. One gym immediately told us what level she would be placed on and the other gym told us they would be in touch in a week or two. Would there be a reason why the one gym wouldn’t share their thoughts with me right away? Thanks.

    8 year old dd switching from acro to gymnastics. Now xcel tryouts!

    My 8 year old dd has been dancing for 2 years. Never really liked dance, except acro- which she excelled at. After years of begging we took the plunge, against her Drs advice and signed her up for gymnastics. She is just so passionate about it. Every video, everywhere we go, it's all she does...

    Parents Pre Team tryouts

    Hi there. I am new to the gymnastics parenting world. My daughter has been asked to try out for the pre team at her gym. She is 5 and has never done anything like this. Random question but how important is ‘looking the part’? Should I worry about slicking her hair back with gel? She has...

    Team tryouts and straddle splits

    We have to get invited to Pre-Team which I'm on. And during the last week or two of Pre-Team you have to get invited to team try outs. We need level 1 skills since this year our YMCA started competing at level 1! What are the new level one skills after the changes? And they said you have to...

    Help me prepare my son for tryouts!

    My ds 7 loves gymnastics really wants to go to class more than once a week. His sister (4) is in an advanced class and goes twice a week. Boys team tryouts are Friday.

    What do coaches look for in tryouts?

    At DD's gym the other day I noticed a poster for preteam and team tryout- as you have to be 4yrs old to tryout, it doesn't affect us this year(DD is 3 1/2) but it did make me wonder:what skills do most coaches look for in the younger girls-say 4-5yr olds? I'm just curious, for it seems, to a...

    Tryouts Level Promotions

    How does gym handle promotion to the next level? Are there official large scale group tryouts on a particular day? One-on-One evaluation which can be scheduled anytime? Or do the coaches promote the kids based on their performance in practice? If you do have tryouts/evaluations - do the...
