hi all! I am new here
My daughter just turned six, will be starting kindergarten in a few weeks (summer baby). We just recently switched from a high profile gym to a much smaller and more inclusive gym. DD is close on a bunch of level 2 skills but doesn't have them quite yet. The new gym is having her practice with the level 2's and will be deciding if she should compete this year or not.
I have never been to a gymnastics meet and have very little knowledge. My question is, should she compete this year? This gym is small and it seems like they would let her. But, I have no idea what is realistic as far as getting these skills in time.
I'm also worried that kindergarten will be an adjustment for her. So maybe just continue working out with the level 2s this year and figure out competing next year? But I'm worried I will loose her excitement.
Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!
