My intro

[ban26ana]

I have 2 daughters, ages 5 and 2. My oldest has been in gymnastics on and off since age 2. My youngest will probably start in the fall when she is 3 and (hopefully) has a better attention span. I don't know anything about pre-team, development squads, pretty much anything gymnastics-related lol. Is there a "stretching-challenged moms in-over-their-heads" place I can learn the lingo and the basics of gymnastics?

Hi...just hang around here and read the posts...eventually it will start to make sense as you learn this "gymnastics language". Gymnastics is an incredible sport and teaches the kids so much, not only in the way of sports, but also how to focus, be disiplined, be brave and so on. Gymnastics also builds a solid base if your daughters decide they want to try other sports one day. Enjoy the ride...it's a long one

For the OP:
Visit the USA Gymnastics website and click on Women in the upper left corner. In the left column, click on "Gymnastics 101" for a treasure trove of information.

Welcome to the sport and hang on for what is sometimes a bumpy ride!
