[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gymnastics is a scam. No girl with a typically developing body can go very far in the sport, but greedy organizers will take your money and suck up all your time until puberty hits. If you're going to force a sport, pick one that works with normally developing bodies of all types. Track and field, soccer, swim, etc. You can't always predict how children will grow.[/quote]

Agree.  It’s so dumb.  But why do the vast majority of moms following the dumb line to gymnastics/competitive dance? Nearly all moms are lining up to enroll their kid at 3.  Is it seen at the feminine ideal sport? Really, what is it?[/quote]

Cheer, dance are feminine and the boys like that more.

V ball and tennis are also appropriately feminine. The outfits are agreeable and attractive too.

Just ask anyone in the south. Cheer, dance, gymnastics, vball, or tennis are where it’s att. Then go marry the best baseball boy who goes pro. [/quote]

I mean…seems true.  Seems like most moms are in line to enroll their daughter in dance and/or gymnastics the second they are old enough. [/quote]

You realize that options are limited for 3-4 yr old girls right? There isn't a volleyball or lacrosse team for them. They might find a co-ed t-ball team but again, there isn't that much so that's where it starts.[/quote]
