We finally got to speak with dd's coaches last night and were able to ask what was happening with the fast tracking her to L7 that they mentioned in June. Everything has been in limbo while the new head coach has been establishing her program.
They decided she's going to be a L6 this year (L5 last year). They felt that she's too old (at 10 turning 11) to benefit from the jump and aren't fast tracking any of the L5's from last year (two other 10 Y.O's) and are likely holding a couple L6's from last year back. They should have a decent size team this year with probably around 10 girls. We thanked them and that was the end of that conversation. Frankly, the whole thing didn't make any sense to me to begin with.
She's going to continue up training and already has most of her L7 skills. By next year when she's a L7, they should be perfected...makes sense to me. The four day a week L6 schedule works perfectly for us this year with all dd's other activities. Switching to a five day a week L7 schedule would have been problematic at this point, so everything has worked out for the best.
