My 8 year old dd just joined a new gym and invited to pre-team a couple of months ago. Before that she was taking rec classes off and on and serious gymnastics was never the goal. Now she is part of a group of girls ages 6-8/9 and seems one of the oldest at almost 9. She is doing well and enjoying herself which is all I care about. She mentioned that during conditioning she is routinely asked to do more than the other girls: 10 more push ups, 10 more leg ups, more rope climbs. She says it's not done in a mean way and she doesn't seem bothered by it at all. She is a very strong kid and says she doesn't feel like she is behind. I am not bothered either, just curious. Is it because of age (but there are a couple other older girls), or that they feel she needs to catch up, but then she says the conditioning isn't too hard...
