This was me when my YdD was asked to pre-pre-team when she was 3. It was 3 days a week for an hour and a half. A few weeks later my 5 year old was asked to pre-team, this was 6 hour a week, 3 practices a week... I had no idea what that meant at the time. But what I knew was.... my kids live...

My oldest cannot do them from sitting. My 7 year old can do 5 from sitting.

At 5 my youngest was training l3 and went 9 hours a week. She started competing 3 beginning of 1st grade right after she turned 6. 9 hours a week. 4 days a week. That was two seasons and now she's finally a l4 and training 12 hours a week, going into 3rd grade :) your daughter will adjust and...

My kids are bored out of their MINDS! They have way too much energy! I usually take them to as many open gyms as I can as well as private lessons :)

My hubby made beam for my girls 3 years ago. It has since been retired and now we have tape in the living room for "beam" I think it helped them with handstands on beam, but that's just me. I thought it was more annoying than anything and in the way. I cannot even tell you how many times I hurt...

I think it's a tough situation. .. I might see if you can find someone who can take them?

Region 3, 13 hours, including 1 hour of ballet :)

My kids gym often repeats 3 or 4, but typically not both. My kiddos both repeated level 3 last season and I thought it was good for building confidence and uptraining next level skills. They are more than ready for level 4 now and have most if not all 5 skills too. But many gyms in this area...
