Hi all...I'm seeking some advice. I had my daughter evaluated at a new gym for their compulsory program and their feedback was that she would have a ton of work to do to correct her form and clean up/relearn her skills because she does some skills with her left (like her cartwheel and roundoff) and some with her right (like her split and back walkover). When she tries to do these skills on the opposite side, it looks like she can't do gymnastics at all. It's awful! She is 8 and currently does Xcel Gold, and this has never come up as an issue with her coaches. Has anyone's child faced this? Was it hard to overcome? I'm thinking it will be a problem for her to advance to optionals if this isn't corrected now because her current gym uses Xcel in place of compulsories. Don't you have to score out of Level 5 to mobilize to optionals?
