    Parents Quitting due to bar skills?

    They told me regardless of her hitting the 32 to move up she won’t be allowed to do level 6 without a cast handstand and straight arm kip unfortunately(she totally could get 9.5 on beam,vault and floor currently but probably around a 6 on bars in level 5). But they did say she could do level 5...

    Parents Quitting due to bar skills?

    She is extremely strong(she’s built like Simone bulky muscles) she’s actually the most muscular on the team and works out everyday. The coaches think she’s got issues with timing because she keeps growing so that’s why she keeps going back. They said they suggest she working level 5/6 over...

    She actually did t and t when she was 5-7 and was very good at it(she was level 5 on all events working toward 6). With that said she quit because she was bored of it but maybe we can revisit it!

    Parents Quitting due to bar skills?

    My daughter is almost 10. She competed level 4 last year and it was her second year. She is amazing at floor,beam and vault(she can do level 7-8 skills for all 3) but she can’t for the life of her figure out bars and she is about to give up. She was getting her kips on both high and low bar...

    Parents Should we switch gyms?

    Thank you this is what we are leaning towards! She actually has a tryout at another gym this weekend and we will see how it goes!

    Parents Should we switch gyms?

    I agree 100%. Also they aren’t even offering another year of 4 and basically forcing us to move to excel if she doesn’t get to the skills they deem enough to move up(which doesn’t seem clear to me).

    Parents Should we switch gyms?

    If we leave I was just going to set a meeting up with the coaches and tell them we feel like she isn’t excelling at the gym and we have decided to move another gym that fits her needs better so hopefully it won’t cause drama.

    Most of the girls can’t get their kips or if they are they aren’t connecting them they just stop and do the next skill. All of them seem very sloppy. They also don’t do any uptraining during the season and they are expecting these girls to go straight to kip handstand and do clear hips right...

    Also her goal would be to make it to optionals. She has her heart set on it and has since she started her gymnastics journey so that’s why she is so upset. She knows if she moves to xcel at our current gym they will never let her move back and get to the optional level. So that’s why we May...

    Parents Should we switch gyms?

    Thanks for the input. Honestly I would be ok with xcel but not at our current gym because the gym doesn’t really put any effort towards xcel and the coaches are really bad(she had one when she was 5 and she yells all the time and is super abusive) and feel like she actually lose skills if we...

    Hi, my daughter is 9(almost 10) and just completed her second year of level 4. At her gym they have to score 2 34s to move up to level 5. My daughter scored 34.5-35.5 consistently this season(they had 9 meets). Her highest scores on events were 8.9-vault, 8.7 bar, 9.6 beam and 9.3 floor. We just...
