Does anyone here have any experience with asking for their child to stay in their current training group rather than being held back? My DD is right in between the 2 groups (closer to the current one that she's in in terms of skills). She's made a ton of progress lately but is still missing quite a few bar skills needed to stay in the current group (which will be competing level 3 in the Fall). I feel that she does so well when pushed a bit -and also that since coming in late to her pre team group she has been catching up quickly and might be able to rise to the occasion of competing in Fall if allowed to stay with her group through the summer. I would be OK with a situation where she could train all summer and then either go back with the lower pre team group or compete 3 in the Fall -whichever made more sense at the time. I'm also willing to add in some privates to help with this. Is this a reasonable thing to ask for? How do I bring this up with the coach -I'm nervous! I'm not one to be pushy. Coach herself has said DD is closer in skill to the higher group but just not quite there -so it's not my imagination. The new groups start in 4 weeks.
