    L10 Floor Scoring Question

    Parents We would like her to take a year off....

    Our daughter did one L7 meet and achieved a mobility score for L8 but then took time off instead of competing L8 last winter. We had wanted her to take this upcoming competition year to get back into training and then have her compete L8 in 2011-2012. We thought we were on the same page...
