My 6th-grader had kind of a rough year on Xcel Bronze. She only returned to women's gymnastics in the summer (after a few years of fluffy just-for-fun tumbling/cheer classes) and then joined the Xcel team at a different gym in the fall. She can do all of the skills, but not with competition-level technique, and it frustrates her to be in the bottom half almost all of the time. One option is to go back to her old gym for a year, which has a good developmental recreational class that trains JO3 skills 6 hours a week for girls who are too old for preteam. The alternative is to repeat Bronze, 5 hours a week, in a program that is fun and supportive, but not particularly detail-oriented. Would she be better off repeating Bronze or taking a year off competing to work on technique and conditioning, with the hope to return the following year to Silver?
