Hello! This is my first post. Let's see... My daughter is 6 years old and her coach has just put her in level 5 for the coming year. She competed last year as a level 4 and did pretty well- 14 medals (2 were first place on beam). I'm just concerned that only one year of level four was not enough. She is way beyond the skill level of the new 4's coming in and she doesn't have all her level 5 skills. She has her kip, but it's not consistant. Her cartwheel on the beam is still out to the side a bit, she cannot do a front handspring and her dive roll is not pretty. On the vault (her worst event), she needs a spot everytime to go over the vault. I'm am seriously worried that she won't be ready by December when they have their first meet. Should I have kept her in level 4 again with the girls who can't even do a backwalkover, or should I just trust the coach and hold my breath?
