Proud Parent
I was at gym this afternoon for the 2nd time today and I thought .. Why Gymnastics, what makes kids pick gymnastics as their chosen sport? Why do we as parents support their passion in this crazy old gym world, I am sure our sanity and bank balance would be more healthy without it.
My youngesr daughter who is not yet competing said that she loves gym as it makes her stronger, she gets to do "cool stuff", she likes learning new things and she wants to do s floor routine with music that goes from corner to corner.
Also what is the difference between recreational gymnastics and more serious gymnastics? I always assumed that my youngest would be classed as a competitive recreational gymnast as she only does 7.5 hours a week, but according to a letter sent to recreation parents about a forthcoming competition, recreational level is 6 hours and under at our gym. What is more confusing is my oldest trains 6 hours a week and does national grades and is not recreation level, unless they mean recreation in terms of hours training and not level.
