My dd is about that same size and bars are one of her best events, behind vault. I don't think it's because of size. I am sure she will get it figured out soon!
My dd has pretty long hair and I think head coach is wanting her to cut it. I normally break it into a couple of braids for the meets and then curl it so it isn't as long. Sadly, I think I may have to take her to get a few inches cut off :eek:
My dd trains tops at our gym, but we have not heard anything about going to test. I thank you for posting what all is involved IF she actually makes the team!
