My 8 yo has been doing rec gymnastics for 10 months. Her coach pulled me to the side a few weeks ago and asked why I had not signed her up for team tryouts. I had advised time comittment and she likes to do other sports. I was offered to let her tryout for Xcel Preteam. Tryouts are this Sunday.
Here are some of her skills: Casting (pretty far back), pullover on bars (unassisted), back walk over, back kick over, handstand, cartwheel, round off, backbends, front handsrpings, lots of different rolls, split jump on beam, 1/2 turn on beam, pretty good balance on beam, vault into a front handspring (legs not quite straight enough yet), she has the splits down, and she is consistently the strongest girl in her rec class.
Do these sound like skills that would put a girl in xcel preteam? Maybe even the first level of Xcel team? We are region 5 out of Fishers, IN. I know she is very talented but she would be heartbroken if she did not make it. TIA
