I have also noticed that not placing well in one level does not mean low placements in the next level up. My daughter did not did place high in Level 5, but she consistently placed in the top 3 in Level 6. The routines are very similar with each step up so the girls start to "get it" more when...
My daughter was in Jr. C with Cassidy. We're doing the WOGA classic, so maybe we'll be in the same session. Then we'll probably compete against you guys again next year!
she lloks great! Looks like they found a solution to her layout on bars, I know you were talking about it a week or so ago.
By the way, being from North Texas...Eagle's Wings leos are my favorites!

WOGA would be a VERY long drive from Arlington especially in traffic. Sunbelt or Texas Dreams would be closer . I think Empire is also out that way. You'll love Arlington. My mom lives there and it has many outdoor things to do. Plus you are about half way between Fort Wrth and Dallas...

Denton Gymnastics
I know I'm late to the conversations, but if you are still looking, Denton Gymnastics Academy seems to be a new gym that is doing well. Denton is north on 35E from Lewisville and Flower Mound. Just a suggestion. Good luck!
Univeristy Model schools
You might googling University Model Schools. These schools run like a college and only meet two-three days per week. These are private schools but are genarlly less expensive than full-time private schools. In my area there are several of these schools but I don't...
Checks and balances
Bela and Marta don't train these gymnasts on a daily basis and my understanding is that when the girls are at training camp, their coach is with them. So, they have their own coach to speak up for them as well as the coaches of all the other girls. Also, I believe Shawn,s...
I'm a mom to three girls in Texas. My oldest is competing level 6 this fall, she's 10. My middle daughter (7) does rec cheerleading and my baby (2) tries to keep up with her big sisters.
