My dd has been in gymnastics for about 5 years, on team now for 3. I still dont know what is normal for the sport. I have several things that has happened over the years that just doesnt seem right but because i am not a coach, gym owner, or a gymnast i question it. (Which is why i love the forum)
This time the problem doesnt have anything to do with me but it bothers me. i know it is none of business butI would like to know if its normal.
A gymnast at my dds gym was feeling overwhelmed at gym and wanted to quit. The girls mom never thought she really wanted to quit but she let the girl quit. She spoke with the gym owner. The owner said she would be welcome back anytime. The girl continued to have some private lessions and go to some rec classes to keep her skills and in shape. 5 or 6 weeks have gone by and now the girl wanted to come back. She has been told that since she has been gone for so long that she would have to start back on training team and then after this spring when the new season begins she will be evaluated and see if she is ready to come back. Is it normal after a six week break to have to start that far back? She was going to be competing level 6 this upcoming season. She has been with the gym since tiny tots i think.
