Oh, he is so cute. And a champion. Well done to him. How many boys was he up against?
He looks to me like he could be good. Nice blend of strength and flexibility and lovely point on those toes. Supportive parenting too, which is a definite requirement.
Try not to get swept away with rushing through levels. Even very talented kids need coaches' input to help them instil great form, and that's what gymnasts need as they progress.
Enjoy it for what it is and welcome to the Chalk Bucket.
He did a very nice job on his routines. Is he old enough to do L5 next year? At our gym, the coach would probably try to point him in that direction. We had a couple of guys this year who weren't, so they had to do the second year competing L4 as six year olds.
I love tiny L4 boys. There is nothing cuter on the planet.
Yep, the only answer to mushroom is time, time, and more time. He'll get it! And what Skschlag said is so true. I used to think that making a skill consistently for a few weeks meant they had it. Now I think that it's after they've lost it and gotten it back for the third time. But enjoy the ride! It is really fun, but it happens so fast. Then one day you look up and see that your kid is one of the "big boys" whom all the little guys are watching . . .

He is adorable. His level 4 routines look like a good start. My only suggestion for mushroom, is just lots of attempts. Eventually the circles come.Thank you for your reply! He will be 7 in September so he will be old enough to compete level 5. He is close to having a kip and is working on his level 5 skills. Any suggestions for mushroom? He almost has a circle.
