My daughter has excelled at floor since level 4 and took 1st in floor at many competitions in level 6 (as well as AA at times). She was in the top 1-3 consistently for floor this year at level 7, including state competition. However, she's conflicted about continuing given upcoming high school AP demands and desire to see other friends once in a while. Questions: Is becoming a Specialist considered a reasonable and respectable option at level 7 or 8? How would you chose between 2 other strong events (if specialists must limit to 2)? How many hours of practice per week would be required potentially? How are they scored at meets; could she still get 1st in floor?
