My daughter is 11 and just finished level 5. She started the season scoring 33s and ended scoring 35s. She did 2 years of level 4 before 5. She competed a BHS on the beam all year in level 5 and she has her giant layout flyaway by herself on the uneven bars and a beautiful BWO BHS on the high beam.
A little background: Her gym is not an elite gym. They have sent some girls to local colleges and girls are successful, but it's a smaller town and not a crazy competitive environment.
The optional coaches do not want her to move to optionals because her form isn't amazing. She is very hypermobile and it is difficult for her to feel body tension. It gets better every year, but it is a slow process.
I'm struggling with this thought process as she LOVES this sport and will probably never have awesome form. Am I crazy to think this is crazy? Honestly, it's hard not to think that they are just trying to get rid of her.
