My daughter came home last night and said one of her coaches was adding "new criteria" to move beyond level 8.
The new criteria is that in addition to the skills, the girls now essentially need all TOPs skills to advance. This includes 10 press handstands, 20 leg lifts, 10 cast handstands lowering down to the bar without missing, rope climb in pike, 60 second handstand hold and all 3 splits down.
My personal opinion is WTF, most of the current 9s and 10s couldn't pass this testing. We've got the few trained TOPs kids who can but most cannot. So why the crackdown?
I am interested to hear other coach opinions on this policy.
I know for my child, she will never pass level 8 with these criteria.
