The progress that was lacking was down to my dd confidence within the larger group and rather than stand to meet the challenge of working with older girls she shied away from it this has been determined I never once said the group/coach was holding her back only that I wanted to discuss there...
Update...
The HC was so lovely when I discussed this today, she even suggested the younger advanced squad for my dd.
I really needn't of worried about it as it was all handled so well and positively.
My dd is over the moon and we get to stay at the gym that we love!!

Any help in this area would be appreciated.
