Hi! My daughter is 6 and has been on the competition squad of our local gym club for a year. However this year was filled with lockdowns and the stopping and starting of the gym. Recently she’s been reluctant to go to training particularly on a Saturday where the hours are 1-5.15. So after much deliberation we decided it was best to move her back to the development squad.
However I feel totally gutted about it. She’s happy which is the main thing but I feel like her talent is not shining through as she almost taking a step back with her training. Her coaches have said that it will be harder to move back to comp squad as the gap between the other girls will get bigger.
I don’t really know what I’m asking really. Has anyone managed to work their way back over to competition squad? I feel like she’s not mature enough to know what she wants if that makes sense ! She loves gymnastics and has a natural ability. I am totally clueless about it all ! Thanks
