Hi! I'm a newbie here and seeking advice on travel meets. Our gym (DD is 11yo, Lv7) is doing two travel meets to other parts of the country this year. We are fairly new to this gym and just don't understand the benefit of traveling so far and spending so much money (airfare, hotel, rental car, etc). Am I missing something here? Is this really going to make my DD a better gymnast? We live in a very large, metropolitan area where there are a lots of gyms within driving distance so it's not like we are isolated and have to travel to find competition.
Maybe I'm just old fashioned
