HI, I was directed to post to this forum from the "parents" forum. I have a seven year old daughter who is in the advanced class at our gym. She is getting a little bored and would like to move up. There really is no communication between us and the coaches as to what she needs to improve on or attain to advance. Is this normal? When kids are picked to move up, it is done very privately, I am sure to not hurt others feelings, but we feel kinda in the dark. I did approach her coach one time about how much longer she thinks DD will be in this particular class, I was told very vagely that most kids stay in around one year (its been around 7 months). The coach said that she is a good listener, focused, and doing what she should be doing for her level and age. She desperatly wants to compete, but we do not want to give her false hope, if she really has a limited chance. I guess what I am really wondering is, just how hard is it to get moved to a pre team level? Is it super competative at a lot of gyms? Is it normal to be in the dark about what is going on around the place?
