I'm just Curious...my dd went to her first meet yesterday (level 2). My assumption was that there would be mostly 5-6 year olds competing, but the majority of the girls..especially the dominating teams who scored mostly mid-upper 9's, seemed like they were quite a bit older..maybe ranged from 7-9 y/o? Anyways, I was really surprised...but, they looked amazing (not super surprising..an extra year makes such a huge difference in body coordination/awareness.) I was just surprised, and wondering if my observation in the age gap was accurate or typical? Do some gyms have a certain minimal age to compete level 2? Or could it be that these teams really are full of girls who are incredibly talented with crazy good coaches? (I don't think tha is the case...I would be shocked if there was any coach who could bring out near perfect routines in more than a couple of 5-6 year olds, but maybe I'm wrong?)
