Hi there!
I am new here, adoptive parent to a wonderful son, who is 6 years old. Glad to be here! As parents, we are completely new to the gymnastics world and neither of us has had any exposure growing up.
We just enrolled our son in a program local to us and the coach was so impressed by our son's talent and abilities - he stated that he is a complete natural at gymnastics and if he still had a team, he'd put him on right now. While we aren't surprised and something we have suspected for a while, is this common and we shouldn't look too much into it?
If we should consider it seriously, we were thinking about seeing if we can enroll him in a school that's a bit farther, located in the city closest to us - Philadelphia. It's an all-boys gym, http://philadelphiaboysgymnastics.org/. We'd have to travel about 45 mins each way.
However, would this be too much training for a 6-year-old, 2x a week? Maybe wait till after the New Year and focus on 1 school at a time?
TIA and looking forward to learning more!
