It's so hard! But exactly why I posted here, to kick around some of the thoughts going through my head, get them out to some other people (that understand this world), get feedback from people who have been there, and go from there. Thank you all who responded, it's been really helpful.

My daughter (10) is on pre-team level 3 and is loving it. The coach of her pre-team is good, but she has not made teaching roundoff back handsprings a priority for the girls. Up until a few weeks ago, none of them could do them unspotted, even on the...

Good to know. The coach she is working with does have her do many drills that I have seen her do at gymnastics, and she was sure to tell them that her standing BHS has to be no swing. Most of what she's been working on there has been shaping and drills. The plan was only to do 1 more session...

I'll have to see next time she is stretched out and at the gym to have her do a back limber and see what it looks like. It's not a skill they do in practice ever.

Yeah....I know kips will be a long process haha, she is excited for when they start working on those too. I'm sure some of it is just lack of time at practice too, to focus on RO-BHS when they do want to improve all the other little things throughout floor routine. They only do 30...

The open gym sessions we go to are at her gym, but I understand what you're saying, thank you!!

This post for sure has helped kind of validate most of the feelings I was having and the conversations we've been having. Because I told her that exact same thing. That it's the base for so many other higher level skills so it needs to be solid and strong and pretty, and that her coach likely...

Oh for sure. That is what I've been telling her is possibly some of the reasoning of why she isn't being allowed to do it is that yes, she can do it, but there are form issues (which she is working on when possible). And, when I say having her ROBHS getting her on team, I just mean that they...

This is for sure a concern of mine, so I think the route of just asking and seeing what she says, and then moving forward from there makes the most sense. I have told my daughter that she just needs to continue to work hard on improving the skills she has, making sure they're really solid, and...

Thank you. I will work with my daughter on what to say and working her up to talking to her coach with me (this is something she struggles with and we are constantly working on - speaking up herself). All this gymnastics stuff is new to us, she just started rec classes a year ago, joined...
