My second thread in a few mins (told you I would make a pain in the butt of myself)
I have asked this question in a unrelated thread but I would rather make a new one as I have got more to add..
As you may of read I was confused that my youngest dd was upgraded to Silver Club Competitive a few weeks ago when she is only doing 2 1/2 hours a week in a development type group once a week. I also said that my oldest dd was doing her national grades soon and was still on Bronze membership. I thought that the gym had got my two dd's muddled up (easily done as I do it and so do their school teachers even thought there is 3 years between them). It turns out that there was no mix up (I asked another mum in youngest dd's group if her dd had been upgraded and she said that her dd did get upgraded at the same time as my dd) and the person who works on the desk and does the admin said that my youngest dd was upgraded and I mentioned that my oldest dd was still on Bronze and I was told that they were then going to upgrade my oldest dd as well.
I was wondering how the levels worked?
Is Bronze level for rec or is it for competitive gymnastis who do local competitions?
What is Silver level for?
I understand there is a price difference between the two but we don't pay for the membership as the fees are included in the direct debit for class fees.
If Silver level is for higher level competitions then I find it hard to see why they have upgraded the girls in dd's group, they do not do competitions yet and they are not working towards grades at the moment, the biggest skills they are doing is carwheel on the beam ( girls who has been the group for 1 year sometimes does backwalkoverd on the beam), this girls was with a different coach when she started and a new coach took over when my dd and the other girls started around 2-3 months ago. They have finally started working on the floor and the biggest skills they are learning are back bends up a wedge block or on a crash mat depending on the gymnast,bridge kickovers down a wedge block, round off's and cartwheels, the biggest skills on bars right now are circle up, front support, casting, frowards roll down and a spotted handstand from a cast. Is there anything that they are doing that really needs Silver Club Competitive membership unless they are going to be changing things in the group doing more days and hours and training towards grades and such. It doesn't make sense for the club to spend the money on upgrading them in their current form.
Do you mind telling me what your dd/ds is doing in the gym and what membership level they have..
I will start...
Youngest dd - Silver Club Competitive and I have no idea what she is doing
Oldest dd - Disabilitly gymnast - Upgrading to Silver (just waiting for the card to come through) and she is doing Disability Rec trampolining and Training for her Disability National NDP grades in April
