The saddist part was they moved her best friend up and some others that were the same age. Now she's going to be 12 in a few weeks and all the other level 4's are 6-9 years old. I feel bad for her, but I keep telling her to go out there, and take all the first places. I'm hoping she'll re-ignite her passion when we start meets in Nov.
Good luck to her!! my dd's first meet is in Nov also so we'll see how they do. There are lots of 6 yr olds in my dd's group. The coach finally told her that she needed her to mentor the younger ones. I hope this is a easy and fulfilling season

At the gym my DD goes to you can't repeat a level more than twice. Also inorder to move up you have to have the skill for the next level and you must have a 37 aa score at states.
