Update: it’s been awhile so thought I would update! Gym #3 was the answer! Just before the new year we did a trial class for “ages 5/6 advanced.” The coach loved her and sort of took her under her wing. She’s been with that coach for the last month and now she is moving her up to their team...
Update:
I asked our current gym if my dd will have a shot at the next pre-team this summer. Long story short, she will be too old for the next pre-team. So basically if we stay at our current gym her best hope is to double up on rec classes and hope she can catch up some day.
We had a trial...
I didn’t name the gym we are currently at. I just said she had been recommended for pre-team but it didn’t work out for us at the time, and now there is no longer a spot for her. Think that’s okay?
Oh man, shortly after I made my last post I realized I shouldn’t have said “ladies”! Lol. I’m used to mom groups I guess! Sorry about that!
After reading John’s advice, I did email another gym that’s sort of halfway between where we live now and where we are planning on moving and has a good...
Update: the coach and I have exchanged a few emails and then spoke after her class tonight. Basically, when my dd was invited to pre-team, she was on the same level as the other girls invited at the same time and showed potential. In the last 5 months, the other girls have excelled and are even...
Thanks for your reply! Great to hear from a coach’s perspective! I was expecting a reply to my email today, but nothing. I guess I’ll wait it out until class on Thursday and hopefully I’ll either hear back by then or talk to her that night. In the meantime I’m researching other gyms in the...
This is my first time posting here and you all have been very nice and helpful! Thank you all! I feel much better now. I will update after I hear back from her coach. Hopefully I’ll feel good after that, but more than likely I will have more questions or need more advice from you all!:)
I just feel so guilty that I ruined her chances by declining. The conversation was so quick and I was caught off guard and I was wrangling my 2 year old at the same time so I couldn’t think straight. I thought if I waited a month or two that would give me time to figure out logistics. I didn’t...
Huh, I know they look for fear, but I didn’t think about them “testing” them like that! I hope that didn’t ruin her chances because she’s never gotten scared like that before. I also hope it doesn’t mean she isn’t cut out for competitive gymnastics!
Thanks everyone! I went ahead and emailed the coach today to find it some more info and I’m waiting to hear back. I’d like to stay at this gym if possible for the convenience factor plus I’ve been happy with it up to this point. One of the main reasons she gave for not being ready was because...
My daughter is 6 years olds. At the beginning of the summer she got moved to level 2 and at the same time the coach recommended her for pre-team and said she had great potential. At the time, the days and times for pre-team didn’t work with our schedule so I asked if we could continue with Rec...
