My DD is a first year Level 10 and is trying to qualify HOPEs. She made her compulsory HoPEs score and her first level 10 meets have been respectable but not mind blowing awesome. She has been working a lot of skills for HOPEs that have not been put into her 10 routines. She will try them out at one meet before her HOPEs optionals. Soooo, yes the girls who aren't scoring at the top of Level 10 may still be quite ready to compete for HOPEs....scores don't always tell the whole story. That being said, there is a lot more confidence in being ready for HOPEs optionals if you're consistent in your skills and can compete solid routines in JO.
