Last week and this week, DDs coach talked to me and they want to move her to team soon ( asked if she meant pre-team and she said no). I guess they do compete level 4s at 6 at this gym (her old gym doesn't even compete level 4, they start at level 5 at age 7). The level 4s practice 12 hours a week.
I am torn. DD loves gymnastics and is good at it, but it just seems so young. She would be thrilled to be in the gym so much, but it seems like a lot to me.
The cost to start up isn't that bad, booster fees, warm ups and leo. The monthly fees are pretty reasonable in my opinion. $205 per month. We pay $110 per month for 3 hours a week right now.
I guess we will have to try it when they decide to move her, because I can't hold her back from something she loves. I have kind of talked to her about it, told her that it will be much more work, that her coach will be different and she is fine with that. But until she has done it, she really doesn't know.
Any input from other mamas who have been there, done that with little ones? I guess I was just caught off guard because I thought she would be in her developmental class until 6, then go to pre-team, then maybe eventually to team someday. I didn't expect her to be asked to move to team so little.
Thanks!
