I could use some advice. My daughter has been taking gymnastics since July. She is 4 ½ and loves gymnastics. She practices a lot at home. We like the gym she is at and we are happy with the training she has received so far. There is a coach at her gym that is very excited about working with her, once she is old enough to be on the team. They wanted her to start working with the team this summer, but they are having some delays in making that happen. Although we love her gym, we know that their gymnasts aren’t as successful at meets as some of the other gyms. I realize that my daughter is only 4 and it seems crazy to really be thinking about this, but I know that as parents we have to make some decisions for our gymnasts when they are young, since a couple of years at the wrong gym can really set a gymnast back. I have been having some doubts about her staying at the gym she is at, because of the records of their team. There is another gym, which is actually closer to our house, which is extremely successful at meets. They are having open tryouts tonight for their AAU team and their program for 4-5 year olds (they are part of the team). I was thinking about taking her, just to see what they thought of her and what we thought of them. I feel so guilty thinking about leaving her gym, because of the coach who is so excited to work with her. Has anyone else been in this situation? Am I crazy?
Thanks in advance!
