My DDs gym works upgrades year round. She’s been working on her L7 skills this whole season and even a couple she wouldn’t use until L8. The way they do it is that whenever there is more than a week between meets they use the first two practices after a meet for upgrades. They also get to work upgrades when they’ve completed their assignments in regular practices. So if my DD does ten stuck routines with time to spare in a rotation she can move on to new skills.
WowThi is exactly what I am seeing and hearing from DD. Finish the assignments get to do upgrades. I was shocked, maybe dumbfounded, to see her doing BHS LOSO on the high beam last night.
The great thing about optionals is that upgrades can be worked in on some events even if others still require more refinement. BHS/LO can be competed at level 8, even if upgrades aren't quite ready on other events.
It's not really that far above her level. It is unusual but not unheard of. Many girls go from a bwo-bhs directly to a bhs-blo, though it is usually L8 to L9. This is what dd did. Competed the bwo-bhs in 7/8 because she hated the bhs-bhs.While she is proud to do BHSLOSO it seemed peculiar to work something so far above her level. That is why I wanted to hear what others see at their gyma. I am proud of her she seems fearless, for now. I do worry she will get her hopes up and assume she can skip levels. She has so much refinement that is still required. I am glad she is having fun.
I didn't think it was allowed. Thanks for the information.
If anyone cares to see.
