Gosh I’m sorry you and your daughter are going through this! All of the changes sound very chaotic, and it’s unfortunate that her coach left. I think it’s hard to make a decision when she hasn’t had her evaluations at the other gyms yet. If she does get offered a spot on team at a different gym...

Well it seems as though she could possibly make team at either gyms around the same time (if she passes the 2 pre-team levels at Gym B by next summer). Moving up levels quickly isn’t always the best thing. Keep it fun and positive for her at this age to avoid burnout :)

I’m located in USA. Estimated hours for Xcel are: Bronze - 6 Silver-Gold - 8 JO hours L3 - 9 L4 - 12 L5 - 15 L6 - 17 L7-10 - 22

Let us know how it goes! Hope you get moved up :)

Oh my gosh thank you for these. New gym parent here, so I had to keep looking up abbreviations on Google

Congratulations, this is a huge achievement!

Haha I’m “sticking it” too! Definitely super hard job but this forum has helped keep me in check

Honestly the website is really easy to navigate on mobile

Destira is the only brand I buy for my daughter, but only because I love the quality, so I haven’t felt inclined to try another brand. They always come out with cute new prints!

Take a vacation, especially since it was already pre-planned. Let her make memories while she can

I’m so sorry your daughter is experiencing negativity from her coach. I obviously don’t know all of the details, but it sounds like a big red flag to me. I would talk to the coach directly, or even bring this up to the gym owner.

Tumbl Trak has high quality mats and equipment that will last a long time. I have Agreed, tumbl trak is awesome. my daughter has the jr. bar pro bundle. It’s nice that they offer bundles where you can save a little bit of money.

The great thing about pre-team is it gives a child an idea of what team practices are like (more structured, challenging, and longer than rec classes). Your daughter gets to see if the competitive route is right for her, but it sounds like it’s not. Try putting her back in rec classes or sign up...

I agree with this. I think gymnastics ca love this idea!
