My daughter is 7 1/2 yearss old, she has been doing gymnastics since she was five and was asked to join the competitive team 2 years ago. Her coach really wants her to join her national stream group next fall, which would require missing 2 afternoons a week of school. Her coach thinks she had what it takes to go far in the sport. My husband and I are really struggling with idea. We want to support this, she loves it and can't get enough, but we also don't want to downplay the importance of school. Any advice from parents about either why they did or didn't let their daughter do this. We could use some advice.
