We had our Conference with our coaches last night about weather DD is ready for team or not. 4 out of 5 coaches said no because she has lots of frustration and attitude when she doesn't get skills. She also lays on the floor sometimes and doesn't want to do skills. There are days where she does excellent in the gym and then there are days that aren't so good. She turned 7 in October. She says she really wants to do team but they told her they can't have a child that doesn't want to listen and gets easily frustrated on the team they don't have time to deal with that with all the other girls. Very understandable. I'm not sure if she gets the whole concept or not. They told her she has about a month and a half to show them they she really wants this. That means no tantrums, no freaking out, no telling coaches no, no timeouts or she doesn't make team. Skill wise she is good. She needs to work on a couple things.
Is there anything we can do as parents to help her with her frustration in the gym? Or do we just wait it out and see if she messes up and doesn't make team and then go from there? They told her that if she doesn't make team she has two options. 1. Do another year of pre-team or 2 Gymnastics is not for her. If we ask her she says that gymnastics is all that she wants to do but I as a parent can't not have her disrespecting coaches and not listening to them in class. Any suggestions.
