Hi just thought I would put this to the community and see what you think! YD is 8 yrs and just competed Level 4 this season. She tested out of 5 recently. About half her group are skipping Level 6 and going straight to 7. Coach gave us (and DD) a choice of 6 or 7. She would have to increase her hours slightly if doing 7. DD really wants to do 7 and feels she is ready for it. I prefer she does 6, has a solid year with a higher chance at regionals, medaling etc. I also feel she is so young there is no rush to increase her hours or training intensity. At this rate she'll have years at Level 10.
Oh and forgot most of the girls skipping 6 are a year or 2 older than her.
Is it crazy to allow my 8yr old to do level 7?
