Would anyone care to share their experience or advice on the best way forward after Level 4? I understand some gyms prefer their gymnasts to score out of 5 and spend a year competing 6. Others prefer their gymnasts to compete a full season at 5 and then go directly to 7. And still others prefer their gymnasts to spend an extra season on 4 to perfect their skills, then test out of 5 and go straight to 7. My daughter just finished 4, her gym prefers the first option. We are visiting another gym next month (for other reasons) that prefers the second option. I was a gymnast growing up, but don’t claim to totally understand all the level requirements/what is best for foundational skills etc. It looks to me like 5 and 6 have the same skill base requirement, with the main difference being compulsory routines v optional routines. Any thoughts appreciated
