Hi Dunno,
Saw your remarks in the coaches section. I have five year old on preteam in a group for 4-6 year olds, though in reality they are all 5-7 with the year almost over, and moveups soon. She will be six at the end of the summer. The group has been doing running, diving and doing handstand flatbacks over a barrel all year. Less frequently, they dive over the barrel and do a somersault instead. It's a thick mat they land on, but it's drawn a few gasps from parents along the way. There are 2 five year olds in the group. At what age does this skill become appropriate and what should I do about it? She's slated to move up to the next group in June. Are there specific reasons I can give ours coaches for my concerns (obviously their little necks). I mean are the coaching guidelines not being followed. Something I can say besides that looks scary....
