New Here!

Hello everybody! I just joined CB and this is my first post. Just a little few things about me to start. I'm a level 7 gymnast in my mid teens. I started gymnastics pretty late, at age twelve. I will be a compulsory judge next year while competing optionals. I also do some coaching during the less crazy parts of the year. I'm excited to finally be a member here! I've been reading threads for quite a while

Welcome to chalk bucket! That's cool you're going to be a coach and a judge! One of my Level 5/6 coaches did that for a while. I'm going to be an Xcel Platinum this competitive season, and I'm also going to do track competitions this summer.

Thank you! It'll be fun to see how competing, coaching, & judging goes I also do track! Well I do the jumping events. Running isn't exactly my forte

That's ok, everyone's good at different things. I'm definitely a sprinter (100 and 200 meters), I can barely run a half mile! The arm field events I do much better at (shot put, discus)

Hello and welcome! I'm a college club gymnast, but I got to level 9 before I left for college a few months ago. I coached over the summer too and it was AMAZING! I like to say I'm allergic to running because I had ankle surgery.

Thank you! Haha that's a pretty solid excuse My goal is college club gymnastics! If things go as planned, I'll compete 8 next year & then hopefully get my 9 skills along the way in time for freshman year I've coached mainly little ones & I absolutely LOVE it!

The little ones are the best! And college club has been awesome so far. We don't have a coach, but there's enough of us with gymnastics experience that we can correct each other pretty well, we just don't have a spotting option which would be nice for certain skills.

Welcome! I also started gymnastics at 12! I'm only a level 2 needles to say but I'm glad you progressed really quickly through the levels!

Thank you! Yay another late starter Level 2 is still great! Heck just getting started into the sport late (or at any time for that matter) & sticking with it is an accomplishment!
