My Gymnasts




They passed!!!

I am so proud of these two.








Rowan passed the Level 2 Junior Olympics gymnastics test!  She did a great job on all her routines and conditioning.  She'll be moving up to Hot Shots in the next month or so where she'll work out 6 hours a week.


Rowan has been a natural gymnast since her first parent-participation class at 18 months.  A few months before her 3rd birthday, she moved up to Kinder classes and she was asked to join the Super Kids when she was still 3.  This past December, she passed Level One.  Lydia is already teaching her the Level Three routines!

My sparkly 5 year old is on track to compete next year!




Lydia passed Level 4 testing.  This is the big one!  She'll begin working out with the team in the next month and start competing in August.  She is very excited that she'll be spending at least 9 hours a week in classes!

Lydia's gymnastics journey has been a whirlwind!  In October, she was asked to join the Hot Shots.  This meant a move from a 1 hour a week recreational class to 6 hours a week team training.  In December, she passed Level One and was allowed to skip Level 2.  She passed the Level 3 test in February and now Level 4.

I knew my girls would make it to the team, but I never thought we'd be moving so quickly!  It is really exciting to watch them work hard and do so well at something they love.
