She would be 5 before the first competition. She is old enough

She is old enough for level 2

That's exactly what my fears were. I spoke to her coach today regarding the and she was totally receptive. She was pushed in class. She came out so happy with the level of difficulty and the fun. We both feel much better about things.

I'm going to see how this plays out. Her first class with her new team was tonight and the skill level was dramaticly different. Half the girls cant do a handstand and just came from the preschool class. The strength and conditioning was similar to to what she did over a year ago. She complained...

We are definitely going to use this as fun time together

Definitely agree! My daughter on the other hand was very upset lol

Funny enough, her hours are decreasing and I'm happy about a free day lol. But yes, I think its in her best interest to stay with girls her age.

This is what I'm hoping for. The classes wont start for a bit but I'm hoping they continue to uptrain her. She's 4 but she's already working on level 3 skills and learning shapes for cast handstands (obviously, nowhere near doing them)

It didn't come off odd in the moment. Even some of the moms of girls moving to team have expressed how they dont feel their child is ready and is shocked my child isn't going. Form definitely needs improving. The thought process was, she will make more friends with girls her age plus she will...

My daughter is staying on preteam, I'm fine with that, I was just surprised by the main reasoning of my daughter not moving to team. The other girls older than her and need a chance on team. Although you have more skills than them, they are running out of time, but you are have plenty of time...

If anyone had a kindergarten child with 3 hour practices, how did they do? She is currently doing 2 hours but that additional hour scares me...

I guess everywhere is different. Here they start that style training as early as 4.

Shes currently doing 5.5 hours. I agree 9 is a lot but they slowly increase their hours. I will definitely have to talk to the coaches but I'm sure they will be understanding that she may leave early somedays. She's the youngest in her class currently.

Not 100% sure. Level 2 is 6-9 but she is also doing TOPS in addition to her current class. Idk how TOPS is added to level 2 or if they will continue her TOPS training

Thanks everyone. This is making me feel a little better. Well see if she even gets invited but i am planning on letting her try and seeing how she does.
