We are discussing this in another thread that is active but not sure how to link it. @JBS ??

Right, I never said you were wrong, I said "not necessarily and here's my perspective". Just was offering some insight to the OP :)

"My thing has always been to see through a commitment. Yes, even if they really want to stop immediately. For me, this is bigger than gymnastics. It's a life lesson... that we don't just bail out and quit." Not necessarily. This can have dangerous and detrimental results, especially at the...

They have a different celebrity guest and a different theme each week. They will start naming the guests on their website, if they having already. The celebrity guest was in the mix not only in the gym, but during recreational times and during some meals when my daughter was there. My daughter...

Hi, My daughter went as a Level 14 yo training level 9. She had an amazing time. IGC camp is more about the whole camp experience with gymnastics being a big, but not the only, part. Your child probably will not learn any new skills at IGC, and anything major is only allowed into a pit. But...

No, it's modified. But closer to states they ramp it up again. The kids who make states around here are all on club, so they are getting lots of practice in anyway. It's smack in the middle of meet season.

They have team practices. So all the girls that made states from Suffolk will practice at one of the HS gyms.

Hi, I am in NY also. A few gyms around here do high school classes as part of their rec offerings, for girls who do HS but aren't part of a club team. I think that's what she means. Also, just FYI our HS season in Suffolk county Long Island is fall, not winter. The other Long Island county...

That would be the best way in my experience, especially given the situation. Just thank them for their time and what they have given to your daughter and let them know she will not be returning. Most people on this board that have "been there, done that" would advise the same. It would be...

Just email them and move on. Thank them for their time and tell them that your daughter will not be returning. It doesn't sound like she has many connections there so just go. Not sure what the hesitation would be at this point based on what you said is going on.

I saw it mentioned on a college broadcast, but didn't know it applied to DP as well.

Again, I should have been more clear. My daughter is lv 9 and I understand the reasons for not moving up levels. My specific question to the poster was about why they would not move out of level 3 as she stated they all had the skills to "compete lv 4 pretty decently". My daughter killed...

Yes, my daughter has been in this sport for over 10 years, I understand the factors that go into moving levels :). I was referring specifically to the OP and why her gym operates this way.

"Most of the 3s have decent kips and double ROBH and could probably compete 4 pretty decently". Then why don't they? Do they hold them back to perfect/win level 3??? Seems counterproductive.

No; up to level deduction means that, although a requirement is filled, it is not "up to par" with the level of difficulty typically seen in that level. For example, my daughter did a bhs-bwo beam series in level 8, but she most likely got an up to level deduction because she did not do a...

I remembered to uncheck the box! I posted upthread a while ago (but forgot to uncheck) to agree that yes, the board has taken a different turn over the past two years, but I hope in no way that it came across as a moderator problem. I think all of you mods do a great job keeping things moving...

It's very individual with many factors contributing. My dd was a 7 yo level 4, she did quite well, but again, there are so many things to consider.

Everyone's path is different, but unfortunately for my dd it was a 3-4 year growth "spurt" of doubling body weight, 8+ inches and a much differently shaped body. Add many growth plate injuries to this and she retired at 15 training level 9. She was very successful up until level 8, did have to...

My daughter broke her finger two days before a travel meet from NY to Orlando many years ago in compulsory. We went anyway because everything was paid for, we were very close with the families and the girls, and well...Disney :)

If your daughter just enjoys doing gymnastics, is recreational gymnastics an option? Not everything about this sport needs to be competitive. It can just be a fun, recreational activity that allows her to socialize and get exercise, and then she will have plenty of time and energy to pursue...
