I'll try and make this short and sweet Im just looking for advice, everyone I talk to is giving me mixed feelings..
My daughter (im her coach) is turning 5 next month. Last season she competed L2 and always blew everyone outta the water. 1st on everything including AA. Now that she is age ready to compete L3 this season, im wondering if I should keep her at L2 for the simple fact that she doesnt have her mill circle on bars. She has done it 2 or 3 times, but just cant get the hang of it.
Once my girls get to L3 I really try to steer clear of spotting them in meets, so with my daughter im even more strict on this.
Im thinking of giving her until September 1 to have it to compete L3 the season.
Besides that, she has most L4 skills and all of her other L3 skills are great! She's pulling a beautiful beam routine with a full handstand. Her floor is great and besides her mill circle, she has good bar skills. She is still trying to get the L3 vault, simply because she is so small, the large spring board and dive is giving her problems.
so......
Do I keep training her L2 and have her rock it out. especally since next year the tables are turning and it might benifit her in L3 next year?
Or should I have her compete L3 with or without 100% of her skills in place?????
Please dont send rude comments, i've got enough smart-butt comments, I just want to know what others think...im torn
