    Ok awesome. That gives me hope. I honestly think she'll be ready for 4 by next season. She's so strong and picks up skills quick. Gonna enjoy this level 2 season and relax!

    Thank you so much for this. You have really helped me feel better about the whole situation. I really need to learn to just sit back and enjoy the process. Thank you again for all your input.

    She already has a double back handspring. It's not perfect form but she has it. She also ahhh does the new level 3 vault in the gym and can do a cartwheel on beam. The only things she's missing for 3 are on bars that's why I was so confused by it all.

    Thank you for that. I think we do get so caught up in it all early on. It's nice getting this kind of reminder from Mom's who have been there done that. ❤️

    From what I've heard they really want better scores from the level 3s this season cos least they didn't do well.

    Everything you said is what I'm trying to tell myself. I just don't want her to be behind. One mom I talked to said the year of level 2 could actually propel her in allot of ways cos she'll get some experience that the girls who were moved directly to 3 won't get. So fingers crossed lol

    These are the things I keep trying to remind myself of. And that since she really is more than a level 2 skill wise she'll get allot of confidence from this season cos she will do so well. I hope that happens. The coaches seem to think it will and I guess I have to trust them. It's just hard...

    Ok that's helpful. Mine has her ROBHS and most other skills. She doesn't quite have her squat on or front hip circle but could easily be trained for both before comp season starts. It seems like their main reason was that she had never competed before but I feel like that's a little weird...

    What age was yours when she started? Just out of curiosity.... Mine is 7 but it seems like allot of the 3s are 8/9.

    Yea it seems like it might be a common thing here but I'm not sure as most of the parents I know from our gym started in the covid times. Thank you for your input. It makes me feel better for sure!

    Honestly we were surprised she was made a 2 after we had been told by one of the team coaches she would be a 3 so that's why I think she might make that jump. But I don't know enough about how all this works still.

    No advice but I totally understand wanting to know answers to questions you have. You shouldn't be made to feel like that for wanting to speak up on behalf of your child who can't yet! That's not right for them to treat you like that no matter what you may or may not have done.

    I would like to get some insight on what other parents felt about their gymnast competing level 2... Please don't tell me it's a waste of time/money Our gym decided to have my gymnast compete level 2 because she was missing more than 1 level 3 skill and because she has never competed before...

    Oh we are totally just along for the ride. Right now she is so in love with the sport and wants to go far. So we support her dreams and tell her it's going to require a lot of work on her end. That mom's statements kinda threw me cos it's like shouldn't we just see what happens instead of...
