All-Star 3 Year Old Bhs

[Keep_Believing]

I found this on Kiara Nowlin: How did you get involved in gymnastics: My parents put me in the Mommy and Me class at 18 months old because I was flipping off the furniture. I did my first back handspring when I was 2 1/2 yrs old.

Y'all should take a walk over to Chalkbucket sometime...these parents are a dime a dozen in gymnastics. You can't even compete USAG at level 1, it's a marketing scheme by gyms to make money pure and simple. If she is truely "that close" to doing it herself why isn't she up training since it is a level 4 skill?
And just because a kid gets happy doing somethig doesn't mean it's good for them also. My cp loves to mainline pixie sticks and you should see her jumping up and down...it makes her so happy
No parent likes to hear that what they are doing may be wrong but sometimes it's worth taking a step back and reevaluating.
BTW I honestly believe that kids that gain these skills early have a shorter career in any sport they do. Not due to injuries but out of boredom.

Actually for your info she is competing....i just paid for her number...i know theres 2 different systems....usga and something else but i forget the ackronym...she might be in the other but either way she is allowed to compete at every comp they are going to....and jsut because she is close to one skill doesnt mean shes ready for all the skils in those levels

Really? Something else but you forgot the acronym? I would be pretty sure of what I signed my 3 year old up for but okay. And I think you were looking for AAU?
Since my cp was in competitive gymnastics before I'm pretty familiar with the system and if everything you say is true than she shouldn't be in level 1 or competing, she should be uptraining and conditioning.
Your obviously not going to get the reaction you want off this board...I think the Chalkboard is more your speed.

Double that.

TRIPLE THAT!! OMG, my new favorite phrase.

I have taught gymnastics for YEARS and we never do bridges with children until they are 5. It is not recommended by the Usag. It is not good for their body and should not be taught to them. Have her perfect cartwheels, jumps etc. it sounds like she can be very talented, she has many years to expand her skills.

She is probably competing in an Excel level program. In those programs you can have a forward roll and compete. And btw her bar routine doesn't put more pressure than a bhs on her arms. First of all at her age there is no way she is doing giants or anything close to a handstand. Secondly a backhand spring puts 3 times more weight on your arms than doing a handstand. Mainly because in a backhand spring you are jumping to a handstand, that is tons of pressure. Take everyone else's advice and let your kid progress the right way, teach her a back walkover.

Give her some time...she's 3.

Double that.

No triple that! ROFLMAO!

Whoa. If I remember earlier questions, someone asked if level 1 existed in USAG. No need to attack me. I really think you should take a deep breath an evaluate your responses before posting.

Good luck to your daughter and her coaches.

Slow your roll, sparkle. Actually, cheermommaRN established that she's competing AAU because you couldn't remember what you signed your child up for.
