Hi, I’m new to gymnastics. My daughter is 9 years old and competing in XCEL Gold. She does very well. She’s also a competitive swimmer and plays competitive tennis. We’re not sure whether we should continue with Gymnastics. Since she’s not in JO, we don’t see a future for her. When she tried out for the JO team the director felt she wouldn’t be a good fit and recommended XCEL. Since then she has really taken off in XCEL, skipping bronze, 1 season in silver, and now in gold. She is an athlete but hesitates with new skills, though eventually she gets them and does them very well. Is it worth moving from gym to gym to find a coach who will take her on the jo team? Not sure why it is hard to get on a jo team, but this gym really separates XCEL and jo pathways. My daughter would gladly drop other things and just do gymnastics.
Thanks
Thanks
