Hi all, I started my 4 year old (will be 5 next month) in gymnastics classes in January, shortly after her 4th birthday. I signed her up just for fun (no competitive aspirations) The facility does have pre-team and team levels up to level 10. I know absolutly nothing about gymnastics, but things...
Hi! I am new to Chalkbucket! As a coach and parent, I am so excited to begin using these forums!
Cameron is five and trains in NC. A few bobbles, but we're on the right track! I would love feedback!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhNPie26w0U
Have a great weekend,
Erin
And what is the majority of their time spent doing at the gym? I read (on here I think) that between the ages of 5-7 most of the training is conditioning and not apparatus work, is that true?
Hi all...coach just called from vacation...Little Bit scored above an 80 and was one of the top scores!! I had already found out she made it but WOW...so excited for her!!
On to Texas

I feel like I leave and then end up back here...
Once upon a time my dd did gymnastics and moved up to preteam, then we moved to Texas and she quit due to the change in coaching environment. We are now entering her 3rd season of all star cheer and yesterday she comes up to me and says "Yeah I...
Hi!
First post, but I'm really stressing and need a bit of perspective on my daughters gymnastics.
She's 6, coming up to 7 at the end of the year. She was taken out of recreational and put on the club squad back in January, and trains 3 hours once a week. I used to do artistic gymnastics...
I guess this would fit in the Adult Gymnastics thread but I figured I'd post here that way if someone else knows the answer they can answer. :D
Question:
Can 18 year olds (Or over, I mean I turn 18 in August, so I'll just be 18) compete AAU?
Is that possible?
I've heard some of the other...
I have to update my siggy, b/c DS is no longer just a furniture climber. He had his first preschool gymnastics class today and he loved it. He is the smallest in his class and it is just so cute. Here is the video, he is the boy in the white shirt! And the little girl is his cousin so they...
Shallon Olsen
So, remember the baby from canada, shallon olsen? Well, she has improved. This week at nationals, she took all around national title in the High Performance Novice category. She also found time to upgrade her vault to an amazing double twisting yurchenko. Remember, she is 10, and...
Any advice for a parent about daughter joining prep op team (this is not level 6, it's the newer alternate team I think mostly for older girls who don't make JO or want less intensity). 7 year old tried out for prep at very competitive and busy gym, offered prep op. In gymnastics 2 years (rec...
I'm posting this here rather than a general parenting forum because you guys understand high commitment activities.
DD 7.5 does dance also among many other activities and only does two days a week in the gym. (She is home schooled and above age grade so she is well rested, sleeps until she...
I met Frits at a gymnastics strength training forum. He is about to celebrate is 70th birthday and has been training gymnastics strength for about a year and a half. Check out his video below and learn a bit more about him and his inspirational story at Link Removed...
dd has her first meet!!!
I am soo nervous for her (making sure she has NO idea I am tho LOL)
also am very nervous on how younger dd will do if older dd does better than her on scores etc! (Tho I will make sure that I do not focus on scores at all ~I will keep them for the record since it is...
I am just SO proud of her! She was moved up from Level 1 to Level 2 (preschool) about a month ago. She had just turned 5 in November before she started Level 2.
She is making such progress in this new class! Before, she was still doing around the side cartwheels, now she is getting the hang...
YouTube - Shallon Olsen- Elite Canada 2010
10 year old Shallon Olsen from Omega gym in BC, won Elite Canada last weekend. SHe has skills way above her level and really stood way out in her category.
Take note, she does not wear grips!
I know there are a ton of posts about Woodward vs. IGC but I was wondering if anyone thinks one is better than the other for a seven year old first time camper?
One of DD's coaches said IGC is more play and would recommend Woodward for a more intense program. She thought IGC would be fine...
