My DD is 6 and was in a Rec Beginner class for a year and a half at a large, competitive gym. They would frequently evaluate her for Pre Team or moving her up to Level 3 but always said she wasn't ready. She has her pullover, hip circle, RO and bridge kickover. She has excellent lines and pays perfect attention in class. However, they always refused to move her up, saying she wasn't ready. I was constantly made to feel like "that mom" because I wanted more for her.
We recently moved a few hours away to a much smaller, less competitive gym. They placed her in the Rec Beginner class because of her age and after 2 weeks the team coach said that they were starting a Pre Team in a month or so and they want her to join.
Why is there so much inconsistency between gyms? Is it going to be this way going forward? I am a distance runner and am really appreciating how straight forward that sport is now. I wish gymnastics was the same way. I feel like I'm always in the dark.
