Parent ForumA place for parents of gymnasts of any level to talk. Please do not post in this forum unless you are a parent or asking the parents a question.
My 11 year old daughter is in a similar situation. They told her she moved up, ordered her grips, then one coach approached me and said she wasn't ready because she didn't have her kip. They moved her back to 4 and completely blew the wind out of her sails. She didn't quit, but she's bored and I can see a she kind of "lost her mojo". 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.
