[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is 6 and we've just done two rounds with Silver Stars, the closest option for us. She has always been a tumbler and a climber (furniture, playground, crawled out of her crib at 18 mos.) and it just seemed to be a natural fit. She is tall and muscular. We outgrew Power Tots and wanted to try this as a way to get back in this fall. It is OK. She gets to experiment with all the equipment, and it's  physical activity, but she doesn't seem to love it and the instruction and groups don't seem conducive to bonding or friendship, so she doesn't feel the need to continue (I have no clue who the teachers are, or their names, so just a disconnect all-around). She is most excited about learning handstands and cartwheeels... It's so basic at this age, I would give it a shot just to let her get her toes wet? As for us, we're moving on to soccer for spring with a few friends and my plan is to offer up gymnastics once a year if she wants it. [/quote]

Silver Stars is a great place to send your kids for gymnastics if you don't want them to stick with it. [/quote]

Really? Because my daughter has been there for 8 years.  Anyway, I didn't want a daughter who was a gymnast either but it is all about strength these days.  It's made her strong and confident and she always gets the most pushups in the Presidential fit test. [/quote]
