moving up

My daughter has learned all the skills required to move up to the next level (L7). She's been doing them all summer. Now that test day is upon us, she has become extremely stressed and developed a mental block on giants. Because she doesn't have it on test day, she will have to repeat L6. Is...

I am a 7th grader who was a first-year Silver last season. I was the highest-scoring gymnast on my team and placed very well at States (and missed Regionals by a hair!!!) Because of this, my coaches think that I could do Gold if I am up for the challenge. My beam and bars are ready for Gold...

Hello! Will gyms automatically move your child up when ready? Or do you have to ask? We've been sitting back and letting the gym do their thing... We are clueless parents when it comes to gymnastics. We don't know anything! So we just sit back and enjoy watching our daughter. . She LOVES...

Floor- round off back handspring, Round off double back handspring (I can do it on tumble track. I used to do it on the floor a lot but lost my RO BHS completely. I got my RO BHS back about a few weeks ago. So I am working on RO BHS BHS so I can start working on back tucks again ), Front...

The title says it all. While optionals finish their season in our region, compulsory groups are starting to shuffle. My gymnast likes order, predictability, and routine and spring workouts are…none of those things. It turns her into a crazy person. Her beloved workout group is currently 2 levels...

I have been an xcel gymnast for years now. I’m currently on excel silver. I have this friend who is the same exact as me skill set wise, everything she can do I can do. However she’s had this one skill for a couple of months longer than what I have had it. They moved her up to gold. My coach had...

I guess I am trying to learn from experience. Our last gym was not up front about team or expectations until we tried out and said she was too old but never offered any other opportunities (nor did I inquire but had no clue what all gymnastics meant until I began looking what team and levels...

I’m sitting here in tears after my daughters coach slammed the office door in my face and told me to go back to my old club, after a question was raised. We walked into gym and one of my daughters friends fro her team had moved up. Super excited for her. However, my daughter has been told for...

My girls were levels 5/6 when lockdown started. They aren't aiming for high levels but hoped to be learning level 7 by now. Just restarted in tiny unequipped space after a year virtually. I would like them to train elsewhere for a month to see if they could get back on track but they've lost so...

Are you able to move up levels 4, 5, and 6 in one month? What is the quickest time you can move up those levels?

I curious what expectations people have about their gymnast repeating or moving up next year after all of this? It may be a moot point if there aren’t even competitions but just wondering. My daughter did very well in L3 and does not want to repeat but not sure the vault will come in time. She...

I want to move to JO from Xcel, (I had to do Xcel because I started gym midway through the year, and started when I was 13.) I don't know if it is possible though.

This is long :) My daughter was on a pre level 4 team and our gym has a very strict testing policy for moving up. She was missing some of the skills for 4 during testing and the head coach decided she will be competing 3 not 4 as planned. Fine, except she was just coming off an injury during...

In your experience (in your child or seen st the gym), what’s it like -to be the girl moved up too soon, struggling, feeling out of her depth,etc. -to be the girl who gets left behind when everyone else gets moved up while she repeats a level, feeling perhaps more capable than the “new”...

Hello, My daughter competed level 3 last year, She will compete level 4 this year 2018. Her coach told me that if she does well as a level 4 she will start to compete as level 7 in 2019. Is this to fast? She has said that she either wants to be an elite gymnast or college gymnast, her coach...

Hello! Curious to hear the process at other gyms for making the team (moving up from Pre-team to whatever first level competes) or moving up a level. Ours is a really formal testing process and only available once a year (happens right after the end of a season). You have to have mastered each...

Hi My dd has just turned 6 and has been doing gymnastics at Rec level for about 15 months. She belongs to two clubs and went in at beginner rec level in both. She has made lots of progress in one club and was moved up to their intermediate level group in October (does two sessions a week with...

With our season ends soon approaching a lot of moms are thinking if having their child repeat L7 because their daughters aren't consistent in their skills. What are your opinionsite? What will your factors be for repeating.

Hi there, My YDD (8) was today invited to move to an intermediate class from her "beginner 3" class. This is fantastic as I need her to move to the new class for logistical reasons (she has a spring soccer conflict with the beginner class). I anticipate that she will not want to move up. I...

My gymnast had a decent L4 year, placed at some meets, did well at states, etc. She has been training L5 this summer. Our competition season doesn't start until November, at the earliest. She's gained a lot of confidence on beam and can hit all the skills. She's had her clear hip for months...
