    Women New and would like advice for 5 year old daughter

    Hi everyone! My 5 y.o. daughter who is very active:p developed a love of gymnastics about a year ago. We are at the gym my younger sister competed at. It is a smaller, fairly laid back gym. We are actually pretty attached to her two coaches (very sweet girls). They have both indicated that...

    Parents Fearful 6 year old

    My daughter is 6 and a half, on developmental team. She is not one of these fearless kids, and tries new things cautiously. For instance, she has been "almost there" on getting a back hip circle for AGES, but is afraid to do it. With a spot it's a two finger spot, barely anything, and she does...

    Parents 8 year old and underwear under leotard???

    Soooo, my DD hates underwear. She has never worn it under her leo. She is 8 1/2 and I am wondering, should I make her wear it? I noticed that ALL the other girls do but the coaches have never said anything to her about it. At this age does it matter? I have never noticed anything about how...

    Parents 4 year old too advanced for her class?

    DD started taking classes about 6 months ago and absolutely loves it. She is a great listener, catches on quickly and you can tell she just loves it! Anyway-- obviously all coaches will be different, but at our gym some tend to lean on the side of recreation at this age, while others focus on...

    Parents Private lessons for 5 year old

    My daughter is 5 and is doing a class that is similar to pre-team but it's for 4-6 year olds. It's higher than an advanced rec team and normally kids in this class skip pre-team and go right to level 4 the next year. At least that is how the coaches explained it to me. Anyway, the woman who was...

    Parents Femoral Anteversion-6 year old has, should we be doing anything

    So coach pointed out to me that DD intoes especially with one of her feet. Being very unobservant, I never noticed it, but she's always been a big w sitter, so I guess I should have wondered. Anyway, doctor says it is something she will likely outgrow. Doctor Doesn't seem too concerned about...

    Parents Maximum number of training hours for young six year old?

    How many hours would you let a just turned six year old train assuming she's the most talented six year old ever. (Mine is not of course!!!) Just trying to see if adding TOPS is a good idea.

    Normal for 4 year olds?

    Is it normal for 4 year old girls who have only taken about 2 months of gymnastics (once a week mostly) to be doing really good cartwheels, one-armed cartwheels, round-offs, one-armed roundoffs, (I think it was called a pull over), and they do something like a handstand and fall into a bridge...

    My twin 4 year old girls have recently been invited onto the "team" they have just recently completed their first 10 sessions.

    5 Year Old with Rips

    Have a pretty basic question. Can I tape up DDs hand some to help prevent rips. Will it get in the way of the rest of her practice?The gym is getting hotter, and she came home with her first rips. I know it is part of the sport and she needs to learn to deal with it, but she is 5 and that sort...

    What skills does a 5 year old learn?

    I just found this forum, and I've been browsing a lot of threads. My daughter turned 5 in January. She started gymnastics at age 2. She stopped from about ages 3-4 due to finances. We switched gyms due to scheduling conflicts, and I wasn't happy with the program or the customer service...

    My 5 year old gymnast cracked me up last night.

    My 5 year old was telling me about her practice last night, and they were practicing one-handed cartwheels. Then she tells me her coach demonstrated something amazing. "Mommy, she did a Mermaid! It was a cartwheel with NO hands!!" I asked her, "She did a WHAT?" She looks plainly at me and...
