I really want to get a feel for parent's opinions on competing level 3. What were the pros and cons? Did you feel it benefited your gymmie and if so, how? I am trying to make an educated choice about my DD competing level 3 next year. She would start training the routines in March. I think it would give her an idea of what competition is like in a low stress way. Our gym goes to outside meets with outside judges and the competitions are strickly level 3's only. The current level 3's parents say it is very low key. Is that a realistic reason to do level 3? Did your gymmies enjoy it? Thanks for any replies in advance. I guess I should add that my DD would be 5 when she competed level 3.
