My daughter is 5 and just started beginning gymnastics when she was four and a half. She has progressed amazingly fast and is extremely self motivated to practice constantly. For instance on Saturday she went to open gym for 3 hours and then came home and practiced at least another 3 hours. Again, all self motivated.
She has all level 3 skills except the front hip circle on bar and the back hand spring on floor, but cannot compete until next year (her birthday is in July). She wants to compete now, but we have no gyms that do level 2 competing in our area. I am afraid that by next year when she can finally compete level 3 she will be bored with those skills. She also has really good form.
On another note, the preteam programs here only work 1 maybe 2 days in the gym, but I am worried as she gets stronger that she will be wanting to work more and do more at home and injure herself. I am not trying to make her do anything, she wants to do more. Do you have suggestions?
