I don’t post regularly on here and my dd is done with gymnastics but I stop by every so often and I’ve read this whole thread and Just had to post. For what it’s worth as one parent to another, gymnastics aside, I think it would be a good idea for you and your husband to have a chat with your...

An 8 year old level 7 has time on her side to have mental blocks. She is amazing just to have achieved that at her age!

I have searched other gym switch threads but I’m still looking for opinions. Without giving too much information, my dd (teen) was early optional level and her whole group have all been put on the Xcel path this fall. They trained less hours over the summer than the “A” optionals at the same...
