Hello,
I have always wanted to do college gymnastics. I am a junior, (age 17) third year level 9 gymnast, I did pretty well at westerns last year, 6th AA, and 3rd on bars. I did one meet at level 10 this year, qualified for state, but the coaches are still making me do another year at level 9 because a 33 aa score was not good enough for their program. I can contribute alot to the level 9 team, as they are weaker this year. Does this remove me from any possiblity of a college scholarship? My parents want me to consider possibly moving to another program that would let me compete 10 the rest of this year for visibility to colleges, and progressing on my level 10 skills. I have communicated via e-mail to some colleges and received some interest, (when I thought I would be a 10). What are your thoughts? Should I speak to colleges and ask them? I have great passion for uneven bars and scored a 9.7 at my last meet. thanks, any suggestions would be awesome.
