Wow, everyone seems to be having a lot of fun uptraining. Awesome job to all of your DDs and their new skills!!
Abby has had a good summer. No real new skills except the squat on and jump to high bar and long hang kip, but she is getting much stronger and her form is improving tons.
Her new gym does LOTS of progressions for next level skills, with emphasis on form. They do front tucks into the pic, back tucks into the pit, straddle up to handstand onto a mat and then immediately snap down to the tramp and back tuck into pit, flysprings on tramp and over an octagon, tons of handstands and press handstand stuff on beam, etc. Bars is the only place she has worked level 5 skills and they haven't really worked routines yet except for bars and learning (for her RE-learning) the floor routine in parts. Still no decision on whether they will use old or new music for level 4s, the 5/6s are using new music.
She got a bit sad when she talked to her friends from old gym because they have been uptraining a lot skillwise, but she LOVES her new gym and ALL her coaches. If you ask her which is her fave, she slowly names them all. LOL. That is a good sign. I know that she is improving in ways that will carry on much longer than having a sloppy XX skill which was how she was at old gym, so I am happy wth her progress.
Summer schedule ends this week and hoping they start hitting those routines. First meet is end of August, though it is just a critique meet sponsored by the judges.
