I know with IClass you can choose how many stars/labels you want from the management side of things. From looking at the Jackrabbit promotional material they have a 3 tick option (started/tested/achieved). It would be worthwhile contacting them to see if it is possible to alter this criteria...

It's the FIG that creates the rules for gymnastics used internationally at the highest level... not USAG. Hopes is only a USAG program.

Yes earlier this year, some federations (European) are apparently pre-preparing assuming it will go ahead. Some assumed the US was aware due to the low number of athletes trying junior elite this year but equally that is not uncommon in an Olympic year.

You need to guide her in making this a positive change. That might be trying some other activities on the free day or just extra time together.

I only know of two instances where families were going to be asked to leave because of the child's constant nasty behavior. In both situations I believe the families (parents also bullies) basically saw the writing on the wall from the meetings and left for elsewhere of their own accord before...

Getting assessed by a re-hab pro would be ideal if at all possible - so you can be assessed and have targeted flexibility and strength work Here is a short video of activities Longer in-depth information

Being in an over-full group is not ideal. Potentially less time on apparatus and attention. Given the injury issues, the full group ahead and the fact that within level six you can basically do level seven - I see no real issue with this, especially since you seem generally happy with the...

This is an excellent interview

What country are you located in?... UK? That information will help with getting the best answer.

Does she enjoy training and her current training mates? If so, I would just leave her be for now unless you financially/logistically will struggle as a family. If she has expressed the desire to do other things then perhaps you can start a conversation about supporting her to find an option...

Can you do the cast fine in isolation?

I spotted this page the other day and thought some of the concepts (skimming) were great. This one is an example that may help Ties in with what @JBS about the need to see where you are landing your hands.

It's not nearly as fun going to meets on your own or financially viable for small clubs unless the full cost is passed on to the parent. I don't think repeating is in her best interest. If she is going to be placed in the same training group as the level sixes - then the Xcel option might be...

I think there are enough potential issue for you with the gym that it may be worthwhile investigating other options for both children -Larger practice groups -Unresponsive coach -Reducing days and not fees -Communication -Nothing wrong with directing the bulk of kids to Xcel if that is the...
