I post this every time this question comes up ….. the lowest scoring compulsory gymnast in my daughter’s group as in barely got scores to move up in levels 3-5 …..now competes in NCAA div 1 top 15 team scoring in 9.8-9.9 range 😃

My daughter made it to level 10. in my opinion I would think it next to impossible to learn bars at the optional level without spotting of some sort. It is essential to shaping, timing, muscle memory and confidence for just a few things. Move gyms if that is this coaches approach.

You are at the beginning of your journey, if she stays you have another 8 years (if she is a young Level 3). Level 3 states just doesn’t matter in the long run. Be thankful to not have to pay another meet fee and enjoy the rest of the season. Excelling at level 3 has very little bearing on...

Yes technically this is the same rule in our state. But doubt anyone even checks. Supposedly when you compete both your score can not count to club team at meets. Again it’s a rule but can’t see how anyone could check and we saw quite a few competing both. My daughter had decided not to...

My daughter did high school her senior year. Yes range is from level 4- level 10. it was a fun way for her to say goodbye to gymnastics. Would say average highest level would be around level 8. Many girls do both club and high school in our state

I dont think a 17 year old can make that decision alone. I have two kids in college one a freshman. There are realities with college these kids can’t figure out alone. What is the colleges graduation rate, what is the average median salary after graduation, what is their placement record...

So my Daughter finished her gymnastics career last year as a senior in high school. She made it to level 10 (was actually vault state champion) and did not have college gym aspirations, there was a time it was considered and we tried a gym with college track record but the drive was far and she...

Well simply put at 18 she is now considered a legal adult under the law. Kinda changes everything……..

My daughters hair is same as yours. No issues ever.

Those are the best. They come in long and short length, we only used shorter ones. They never fall out are easy to remove. Seriously only way to go !!

just last thought. Connecticut is not a highly competing region and there are not a ton of gyms that can coach level 10 successfully. If you gym has upper optionals that score well and your child is younger than you may want to stay put. You do have to trust the process at some point and if...

I doubt this will have any effect on high school. The range of skills are so great in high school gymnastics (like level 3 - level 10). and not many girls on teams. No way they will black list her. Not sure your daughters age either but if she is younger then don’t even start thinking...

Having just been through the college process over here my advice is focus on the schools and her academic interests. It was a tough year for admissions all around, just beyond competitive with schools in the 20% and under acceptance rates and To further limit your choices with club gymnastics...

My daughter has had Greenlight for few years. It’s is great. Very easy for parent to add money. It works with Apple Pay and her work can direct deposit her paycheck to it. Monthly fee is low and worth it for the ease. I don’t use parental controls anymore but for younger kids it is very...

As I have said on a few threads like this winning level 4 does not mean success later on. The lowest scoring level 4 on my daughters team, as in just barely meeting test out score once, is a multi year level 10 gymnast who is committed to a top ten college team for next year. Most of the high...

As a long time parent I can tell you that you will never change some parents and don’t waste your energy trying. In our 11 years I have seen jealously destroy friendships, parents and gymnasts, seen it implode a gym, ruin attitudes of the entire team. My advice is focus on what you can...

have been a parent in this sport for 12 years. She is 8 and she has about 11 more years if she sticks with it. Seriously don’t waste anymore thought on it. Level 4 states just doesn’t matter, really it seems like the world right now but it isn’t. This sport is a long haul. My advice as a...

It is level 4. Competing or not at States will not have any impact on her long term gymnastics career. If new gym is done with States this weekend it is the perfect time to join them. Absolutely no reason to drive back to compete with a gym in a state you no longer live. Again it is level 4...
