Hi All - I've lurked on here but this is the first time I've posted on here!
I am a mom to a 7 1/2 (well closer to 7 3/4) yr old DD. She *just* started taking gymnastics - in Feb. - of this year. But before to that - no gymnastics experience.
A few months ago - one of her coaches asked me if DD could join one of their team development classes. I did *not* expect this and am still not sure what I got myself into!
Anyway - she's been doing this for awhile now and she LOVES it!
However, when she's not doing gymnastics at the gym - she's doing gymnastics - at home. And - I'm not so sure that's a good idea - because she almost always forgets to stretch (and likes to make-up moves).
My question is: is it Ok to sign a child up for a Rec. gymnastics class (like Intermediate) - while the child is already taking a team dev. class?
She's only doing the team dev. class - 4 hours a week.
And, honestly, this does not seem like enough for her. Not that I'm trying to get her to be a superstar or anything - but - she's VERY active - and I'd rather see her channel all of that energy in the safety of a gym.
Also - she's VERY strong - but her skills - REALLY - need more developing.
So, I'm really not sure what to do...
Any advice?
