    8 year old dd switching from acro to gymnastics. Now xcel tryouts!

    I spoke to the rec director, whome I have a good relationship with, and she clarified some things. Being placed in j.o. level 2 is a huge compliment. Apparently, they never start news girls above preteam. They feel she's talented enough to start on j.o. and her attitude is a big factor. She's...

    So she made j.o. team level 2. I am confused. I was told by the rec director she was trying for xcel. I'm glad she made it but do we have any say on which team? Xcel here seems to be harder to make. I get the level bc she's new to the gym but I think her skills will get her up quickly. I was...

    No physical reason her Dr advised against it. She just feels that the sport is too hard on young girls bodies, too many injuries etc. I am now looking for a pediatric sport Dr of sorts. At least someone more sympathetic to her cause.

    My 8 year old dd has been dancing for 2 years. Never really liked dance, except acro- which she excelled at. After years of begging we took the plunge, against her Drs advice and signed her up for gymnastics. She is just so passionate about it. Every video, everywhere we go, it's all she does...
