The First Meet

This weekend, our daughter will be taking part in her first gymnastics meet. While she has engaged in track meets, soccer matches, basketball games, and acted in plays before, gymnastics is a new experience for her. We are excited to witness her performance and observe how she embraces this new challenge. She has a genuine passion for the sport, and the camaraderie with her friends is a significant aspect of her enjoyment. Interestingly, she is not one to seek attention, so it will be intriguing to see how she handles that aspect.


I am very interested to see how they will provide a positive experience for the children. While I have watched collegiate gymnastics and the Olympic gymnastics, I have never observed gymnastics for elementary school participants. I hope it will be tailored to their age group and not simply following the structure designed for older gymnasts. Children are not simply smaller versions of adults, they possess their own distinctive traits, and activities should be organized to cater to their requirements, rather than vice versa.
