Who here knows about gymnastics?

[Traci Reed]

I'm going to do a gymnastics kit in the next few weeks because my boys are going to a gymnastics place on the last day of school...I need some ideas!

i know i am incapable of holding my weight on a high bar these days. ;)

I do! My youngest is on a competitive boys team. PM me or catch me on IM later this evening, Traci. I'll tell you everything you want to know! (and I'll be the first to buy said kit, as well ;) )

Balance beams, hanging rings, parallel and uneven bars, a pommel horse. A trampoline, some medals or a trophy.

My sister did gymnastics for 890543890432 years :p

My cousin has done gymnastics since she was 2 and Abby's been in a gymnastics/tap/ballet combo class for 3 years. You can Yahoo me tonight if you want. :)

My daughter is in competitive gymnastics, so I'll just throw some random thoughts out there based on what I know about the sport. Some medals or ribbons for competition layouts might be nice, and maybe something chalky since they use lots of chalk on the bars. Their gym equipment comes in primaries - mostly red, yellow, blue, and some black.

Other random things that come to mind: cartwheel, flip flop, twist, soar, run, jump, tumble, fly, flip, dedication, concentration, floor exercise, team


I can't wait to see it!

Ummm....the image of a little girl in a leotard clapping her hands with a chalk cloud around htem just popped into my head, and would pretty much be the cutest thing ever.

Here (http://www.dennydavis.net/poemfiles/gymnst.htm) are a bunch of quotes that you could use for word art or whatever.
