Our gym is small and our town sounds about the same size. There are about 20 girls total on team. Both levels 3 and 4(we consider that team at our gym) each have 6-8 gymnasts and the higher levels(5-7) have less. Our gym's "team program" is fairly new and only goes through level 7. After...
Thanks! Great advice. Our gym doesn't have excel. Thank you for bringing that to my attention! I may check out what local gyms have excel. Sounds like it could be a fit for my daughter if she chooses not to stay with JO.
Our coach gave us the option of moving her back down to level 3 also at the end of summer, if my daughter wants to do that. I think less free time has something to do with it also. Glad the gym switch worked!! :)
Great advice!!! We(my DD, DH, and myself) had a chat with the coaches tonight. Basically, we all agreed to go through the summer and if at the end of that she wants to just do rec. gymnastics or quit, that's what she'll do. The coach seemed to agree with me that it's probably the new skills that...
I couldn't agree with you more and this was along the lines of what I was thinking. I think when school is out(in 2 months) and there's only gymnastics to do, she'll be okay. Personally, I played softball all of my life, up until the age of 20. If my Mom would've let me quit when I was tired and...
She's 9, and I think the best friend quitting has a lot to do with it and the fact that it's a new level and new skills. The not wanting to go to practice is new. She mentioned quitting once and asked if she could still do rec. gymnastics. We told her she could but after thinking about it, she...
My DD has been taking gymnastics for 2 years. The past year of that has been on L3 team. She was recently moved up to level 4(2 weeks ago) and with that comes another 4 hours total per week of practice. I know at some point, every gymnast has some sort of a burnout. That's why I'm posting.....to...
This was my daughter's last meet as a L3. We just got news she'll be moving to L4(new).
