Well, here goes....my introduction and 1st posting. I've been hovering around here for a few months, just taking in all the advice and reflections from some obvious "pros" in the gymnastics world. But now I've questions of my own and it seems a wealth of experience is at my fingertips! My dd and I (and now our entire family!) are relatively new to the gymnastics scene, but like so many of yours, my daughter is obsessed! I never did gymnastics, other than watching it in the Olympics every 4 years, but I have a daughter who loves it and, I confess, I'm being sucked in, too! She started gymnastics a little over a year ago when she was 8, and now she is a level 8 9-year-old. I hope to learn alot about this crazy sport in this forum!:goodvibes:
