I wound up posting before introducing myself, I couldn't help it
I'm a mom to a 12 yr. old level 5. She started competing in June 2006 when she was 11 (having NEVEr done gymnastics or even ever been in a gym before). In the cumpolsary that fall, she came in 3rd for the state and in the optional she took 1st on all evevnts, and 1st all around.
We just had our state compulsary, and she came in 2nd, moving up from 3rd last time.
We've had a lot of folks comment to us that for her to have started at a late age, and to advance/do well, is uncommon for her age......the bottom line for us is that she LOVES gymnastics!
Have any of you had kids that started late? How are they doing? Are they loving it , or have they decided it's too much?
Just from reading posts before becoming a "member" , I learned a lot and got some very useful information.
I look forward to be a participating member here, and for all the advice I can find here
