Last season (2014-2015) I competed as a level 4 (14 y/o). I'm old I know. I compete YMCA. I struggled with injuries this year - major ones included 2x fractured fingers with growth plate stuff, hyperetended knee, sprained ankle.... shin splints... It was bad. I grew a ton and we are looking into a vitamin d deficiency. However, I am wondering whether I should repeat level 4 or really shoot for 5, or go to xcel. We don't currently have an xcel program but we will be creating one next year, but we only have two girls so far. Plus YMCA doesn't have a huge xcel program.
I did ok in level 4.....
I think - low score of 8.25 and high of 9.05 on vault; low of 7.45 and high of 8.6 on bars; low of 8.3 high of 9.05 on floor, and low of 8.3 and high of 9.7 on beam; low aa of 33.5 and high of 35.95. I typically scored low 8 on bars, mid-high 8 on vault, high 8 to low 9 on floor, and low-mid 9 on beam.
My vault was a bit archy and I totally favored my good leg (shin splints, ankle problem that I am currently in a boot for). My bars were rarley connected (at regionals they were!) and I usually fell on something - beginning of the season kips, mid season squat on, end of season i didn't). On floor I was fairly consistent. My beam routine is beautiful if I landed my cartwheel... but I struggled with mental blocks on that nearly the whole season. So my question is.... what level should I do?
My coaches are sorta leaving it up to me.
