WAG Level 4 or struggle through level 6??

[sce]

Got it thanks.. Although this year they are skipping level 5???

If it is USAG they can't they have to score out of the level.

Also, what level has your coach said you should do?

My dd moved from level 3 to level 6 (with a score out of 4 and 5 at 1 sanctioned meet). I am glad we jumped but to be honest, it was very tough. She had a great level 6 season, finishing mostly in the top, but it wasn't for the faint of heart. She is now training level 7.

Good luck with your decisions.

They cannot actually skip 5, but they can do one score-out meet.

Hmm ok that's probably what they've done. Thx

We are doing the struggle. The four letter word to get to the struggle is b.a.r.s.

And can I just say I pray it isn't a horrible struggle! We truly are ok in every area but bars. This said, I am not stupid. If bars aren't there, you don't move up. Coach just talked to me and said they are going to make everything else exceptional so she can bungle through...the problem is her hands are so darn tiny. She is working on grip strength drills. Ugh. And can I just say I would be happy for her to be a level 4...but my child would NOT. So...I say lots of good thoug ht s to the man upstairs....

Yup thanks. I am actually pretty good at bars and I at least all the level 5 skills so I'm pretty sure I got bars down

Thank you. I'm pretty good at bars and I have a lot of things that I need in level 5 & 6 so I'm pretty sure bars is an okay in that one

Well he said he has to see how well I do over the summer, until he decides what level I would be. But I got some hints that I will probably be going to 6. For the summer groups he put me with the 6 & 7s. And I'm working on level 6 stuff and it's pretty good...

In Ontario, many clubs are opting to jump their athletes from 4 to 6 since (at the moment) we don't have a score out requirement. That said....your coach will make the decision as to what level you compete at so I wouldn't stress about it. It is unlikely that they would move you from level 3 through to competing level 6. Personally, I think it would be better to compete where you'll be successful, than to have a discouraging higher level year just for the sake of being a higher level. There is no rule saying that you can't/won't up train.

Okay thank you. I will let the coach decide
