So here's my question -ODD (7 and on pre team) started gymnastics on the late side at nearly 6. Very soon she started to show at least a bit of talent -basically really good cartwheels and handstands came quickly. She's not amazingly talented but she was moved up to pre team quickly and has spent the past year building strength and improving, etc, etc. She's not competing yet but I feel that given the right time frame, she can one day be a perfectly acceptable level 3, level 4, etc. if that makes sense. My YDD is newly 5 -so she's still about 8 months younger than ODD was when she started and probably 10 months younger than ODD was when ODD started to show signs of being at least a candidate for pre team. YDD would love to be on pre team like ODD and there is a pre pre team at our gym (ODD went straight to reg pre team). YDD has not been "invited" to pre pre team but I'm wondering if I should ask about it in hopes to get her on. But despite having started in pre-school gymnastics at age 3.5 she cannot do a good cartwheel or pullover yet. Is there hope for her or should I be directing her towards other activities or try to get her on pre-pre-team?
