Proud Parent
This has been an interesting meet season. DD is competing lvl4. Last year she score pretty consistently in the upper 36 range. This year she's hovering around 35 and placing much lower than last year. She seems to be stalled in the score department. She has her first meet this week where she placed on nothing. DD has consistently one of the top scorers on her team this year.
Listening to other parents it's seems to be that the whole team is having a similar season. Across the board girls accustomed to placing well are scoring 1-2 points lower than last year. The new level coach is not as experienced and less structured as previous. There are many parents grumbling. I suspect many are checking out new teams.
DD is reporting making skills such as flyaway to pit, casting to straddle handstand, ROBHSFT, BWO on beam. She is definitely looking ahead skill wise and not only running routines. I am thinking that they are spending more time getting ready for optional rather than perfecting compulsory routines. After the last meet I am wondering if this is the case or if there is an issue here. Head coach works with the group on a regular basis and assured me DD was doing great and a pleasure to coach.
The optional team is fairly large and typically places in the top 3 at meets and sends several to regionals every year.
Does this sound like there is an issue or are they just following a different plan than the other gyms?
