Girls Gymnastics Leotards-Time for New Danskin and GK Leotards

Hopefully your Christmas was excellent. Regardless of whether you observe Christmas, Hanukkah, or winter solstice day, I hope you had a great time and enjoyed the brief respite this season of the year affords to us. However, that brief rest is done and now it’s back to the serious business of gymnastics. I don’t know about where you live but in Arizona, January kicks off our optional competitive season and a lot of young ladies will be entering the gym for the first time at level VII or higher testing their skills as optional level gymnasts. If you’ve done optional gymnastics or coached gymnastics before you know that this can be an exhilarating and anxious time, but by-and-large most young gymnasts that make it to this point have a love for the sport and the talent that it takes to perform at this level. This is also that time of year when these new optional gymnasts will have an opportunity to finally sport their new competitive gymnastics leos that they’ve been waiting so eagerly to don the entire year.

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating…there are many options when it comes to selecting competitive girls gymnastics leotards. Two of my favorites are Danskin and the GK gymnastics leotards lines. You know, if you’ve read this blog, I’m a value man. I’m all for saving a penny whenever it’s possible, but I think a delineation needs to be made when we are looking at purchasing competitive leotards for our young gymnasts. It’s one thing to have a discount leotard to use for the repetition inherent in gymnastics practice five days a week, but especially in optional gymnastics the look that you present is important. As a gymnastics coach with 20 years of experience in the competitive area I believe it is important that our young gymnasts look like a million dollars. Optional level gymnastics judges have fewer things to critique you on when performing an optional routine, as opposed to compulsory routines. While they may know the execution of your skills and the amplitude of your skills, the big deciding factor can be how you present yourself. A clean, sharp looking competitive gymnastics leotard can help add to the clean lines in your arms and legs, pointed toes, and pretty gymnastics hands.

As a parent I know the sport can be expensive, we just shelled out a small fortune for my daughter’s competition leotard and accessories, but remember that it is worth it. For many of these young ladies they have a small window of opportunity in which to participate in this highly demanding sport, I think we need to help them look their best.

When you have a chance, take a look at the GK and Danskin website and see what they’re selling. Not only might you find an excellent gymnastics competition leotard for your young gymnast, but who knows you may stumble across a couple of discount gymnastics leotards that can be used during practice as well.

Now get out there and stick it!
