Hoping to get some feedback here...my 10 year old is currently competing in Xcel Silver. She (from my inexperienced eye) looks like she is probably at the bottom of the group skill-wise. There was some talk about having her be in the bronze group, but the coaches decided it would be better socially for her to be in silver, because of the ages of the girls. She has done one meet, and got one place--4th on beam. I am worried that she will always be at the bottom of the group, if she continues on this path. Next year most of the girls will move to gold and who knows what will happen--either she will be left with the younger girls (now bronze) or be moved up and be at the bottom still. Should I be pushing for her to be placed with her skill group and deal with any social awkwardness that might be there or get her privates and extra practices to help her get her skills up so she can stay with her age group?
