    ILP levels ages

    Yes but even if they don't choose to continue with International, gym helps them transition into anything else. Like my daughter decided to give up a few years ago to get into dance from international, now She is the top of her class in dance, has all the tumbling needed for dance, and now...

    Totally agree, international is so closed minded, where to the point that alot of talented gymnasts miss out because of the timing, this way it would widen the pool as you say

    Changes to the WAG program.

    Well years ago there was no idp and people use to change across at a older age. I don't think that is a bad thing as kids develop at different rates. With this way they could get the best of both if they make the program suited for a easy transition

    IDP to NDP

    Yes I think the same. It has taken me a while to "get over it" as she had a lot of potential in gymnastics and was kinda of my fault that I pulled her out because of the hrs but thinking she would have an easy transition back to NDP, didn't quite work out though . She did go back to IDP last...

    IDP to NDP

    I think the problem was due to a number reasons. The main reason was the mix of skill level. She had very high skills in floor and beam but bars was her down side like what Aussie Coach had said. The other problem is that she was so used to learning lots of skills fast that she found going back...

    IDP vs NDP...what made you choose?

    My dd has done both Idp and Ndp. My dd was picked at 5 to go into idp and had stayed there for quite a few years. The hrs got to much as she was missing half day of school around 3 times a week so we decided to leave. She went and did Ndp and hated it found it boring. So she quit gym and started...

    IDP

    My dd was 4 when she was selected in the idp program. I have to say when I took her for the trial I was almost crying as my little one couldn't do anything compared to the girls that were there. I felt so bad that I had put her there then the coaches came out and said they loved her and want her...

    Switching from NDP to IDP. Does it ever happen in the mid levels?

    Ok well my dd went for a trial at a club for idp she got in which I was not expecting as she has done acro for the past year. She is training idp5 but her bars are behind. The coach seems to think she will get it back fast once her strength picks up. She got a couple skills last night a full...

    Not yet I'm guessing she will do 3. She will have to get her kip back that seems to be the only thing she is missing

    Switching from NDP to IDP. Does it ever happen in the mid levels?

    She also found that learning skills was a lot slower so got bored as well. Not sure why but with idp once you got a skill you move onto the next but with the ndp that didn't seem the case. Maybe it was just the club she was at not sure though.

    Excited Aussie Mum

    We are from qld and my dd is 9. She did idp 2 two years ago and took a year off and did sports Acro but has decided to return. Now is the decision do we go back idp or ndp? Since she is young enough and still has all her skills.

    Switching from NDP to IDP. Does it ever happen in the mid levels?

    that is because there are no Competitions and everybody is excited when they finally get to Compete.

    Switching from NDP to IDP. Does it ever happen in the mid levels?

    Well my dd went from idp 2 at 7 to back to ndp and found things very different. Like the bars she was so use to training metal bar that doing wooden bar was new and had a hard time doing it. The other thing she found hard was the vault because she is so tiny getting over that table was near...
