My daughter is being moved to level six. She has never been a high all around scorer and every year going into comp season, her bar skills seem to be her weakest area. Yet every year she moves up. Head coach talked to me and told me that they want her in optional levels vs spending extra time in compulsory levels. They said her strengths are better suited for optionals and while her timing isnt exactly right for her current level it actually is right for the "bigger skills". I don't get this. I read here that perfecting these lower levels is very important and it isn't smart to move up quickly. I was hoping someone could explain this in a way I could understand. I do trust her coaches but just lack insight into the world of gymnastics.
