Proud Parent
Last week was the first week my daughter had stepped foot into a gymnastics competition, had not even watched one in person. She got 5th all around out of 15 girls. This week she got a 35.8 AA score and got 2nd All around (9.25 floor, 9.35 Vault,9.0 bars and 8.2 beam no fall). Level 3
We only have 3 more meets at our gym. Level 4 competes in Jan to May. She has her cartwheel on beam 30% of the time. She has her roundoff BH BT. She is self training on layouts and fulls at home. She just turned 8. The problem is she does not have her kip but is soooo close! She can jump to high bar and has no fear and is emotionally mature and is on cloud nine. She also does All Star cheer so I have never been pushy with the coaches.......until now?
So, I do not want to be a pushy parent but...... Is it too much to ask the coach to have her up train with the level 4 team so she can compete 4 in early 2014? The owner did hint that that was the plan for "some" of the level 3 girls at a gym meeting..... Or do I let her bask in the glory of level 3 for a bit and risk boredom? . with the whole level changes she was one of those kids that kinda got lost in the shuffle at the gym IMO......
