Hello,
My daughter just turned 5 a few days ago and has been doing gymnastics since she was about 3 1/2. I didn't like the way some things were being handled at her gym so we did a trial class at another gym where they instantly asked for her to leave the class we were trying and moved her into a pre team/developmental class which typically feeds into their JO program. The problem I'm running into is my daughter is only in pre-k and when they started her in this class she was 4 at the time, the other girls are all in kindergarten. I do not much about gymnastics and was wondering if you think she is too young for this? The coaches are extremely hard on them which is what has me thinking because it is very hard to stay and listen to as a parent. She went from a 80 minute advanced class once a week to 5 hours a week (2 days a week, one 2 hr class and one 3 hr class). Any input is appreciated, thanks in advance!
