is it normal for team to spend the summer just conditioning and doing drill and not really working skills? DD has to have kip for august in order to not repeat level 4/3 for a third year (even though no competition until jan) and if she runs to the bathroom or or fixes her rip she looses her kip turn at the bar cause they only do them once per practice???
 
A compulsory gymnast competing in August/September should be in preseason mode during summer. Skills, routines, with still some focus on strength and flexibility.

1 kip per practice? That sounds kind of dumb. How long are her bar rotations?
 
I'm guessing they probably practice kips last and work the other L3 skills after conditioning. With 30 minute bar rotations, you can run of time real fast.
