    Parents Mental block/growth spurt

    This reassuring! She will connect it with a spot, but the spot is so minimal, she doesn’t even need it, but more mental. She will also connect it on the trampoline but not sure about a tumble track. We have 2 more in house competitions before the actual season starts in February so I’m hoping...

    Parents Mental block/growth spurt

    My 7 yr old daughter is competing Xcel Silver and has had her ROBHS for almost a year and mastered the ROBHSBHSBHS until recently. We have even been working on back tucks. She has a lot of power so her coaches have been working on her slowing down for more control on her tumbling. For the...

    Parents Training group confusion

    So update, they retested all the girls and my daughter made the Xcel silver team to start in June. It will be the same 9hrs/week we are at now but will add $2700 competition/admin fees on top of our monthly payments. I’m not too concerned about the cost as much as I am her personal...

    Parents Training group confusion

    That’s what I’m afraid of especially since we have had USGA level coaches that coach levels 8-10 coaching the training group. The coach for the superstars group isn’t of the same caliber of coach. I will just see how it goes and reevaluate if she’s not making progress.

    Ok, that gives me some hope. We have gotten very little communication as to the changes happening.

    Parents Training group confusion

    Thanks and I agree she hasn’t progressed as well as the older girls going into silver/gold. My frustration is that she’s losing hours in order to work on closing the gap. I’m not a gymnastics person so idk about quality of skills but we also haven’t gotten adequate feedback from her coaches to...

    Parents Training group confusion

    At our gym, there are a lot of high school girls who are level 8-10 and train from 12-7 so they are homeschooled. From what I’m hearing we have a pretty robust level 8-10 but not a lot of coaches for the lower levels. I think that may be why they are moving to an Xcel track. The level 6...

    Parents Training group confusion

    Thanks! They are also moving current level 6 girls to Xcel and some parents aren’t happy. Right now, we have several level 8-10 girls with some leaving for college in the fall to continue gymnastics. I’m not familiar with gymnastics but I understand the Xcel vs JO track and just want to make...

    Parents Training group confusion

    My 6 yr old daughter has been doing gymnastics for 2 years now and in that time we moved up to hot shots and from there, she was placed on a training team at 5 with a total of 9hrs/week. We’ve been doing that for the last 9 months with the intention to skip level 2 and possible 3. The gym is...
