Five year olds competing as exhibition gymnasts

[momof5]

I know that on this board their have been several discussions about talented girls that are too young to compete. At the meet this weekend there were two five year olds that competed with their team( not DD's Team). At the awards it was announced that they competed exhibition. Has anybody else heard of this?

Yes, some teams do it if it is their "home" meet. They are competing exhibition only (not towards team score), as they are too young to compete officially. Its usually really cute and good opportunity!
