Hi.
My daughter just left her Y program to compete with a private club. She is 8 years old. She did really great at the Y and loves gymnastics! Her new coach has said that she should probably just compete 1 meet as a 6 and move to a 7. She has all of her 6 skills-not all pretty (clear hip needs work). She is 8 years old, and I am not really seeing the rush to move her. Her coach has said it is better to have them compete optional faster before any fear sets in.
I am not sure what is best for her right now. I am inclined to think she should be a 6-maybe have a great season, and then move on. I have heard varying answers to this and would appreciate any thoughts...
thanks.
