    Parents Did I ruin my daughters opportunity at a good gym?

    I think you've gotten a lot of helpful advice here. I know it's really hard to not get caught up in this crazy gymnastics world, but your daughter is 5. Take a breath, enjoy watching your her learn, stop worrying about things you don't need to worry about at 5 years old. In your other post you...

    Parents Did I ruin my daughters opportunity at a good gym?

    oh interesting. I did not realize this was the same poster as the "repeating bronze" post. In that post she is questioning why they would have her repeat bronze even though "my daughter definitely is not the weakest member of her team" But in the same paragraph she states "She also seems to...

    Coaches A gym and B gym at a meet

    I take this to mean Gym A has flight A and B, and Gym B has flight A and B. Like the above poster said, it's almost like 2 separate meets.

    Coaches Skipping levels in Xcel

    A score-out of gold is required. Sitting back and waiting to see if there's fallout is not the best course of action IMO. Lots of gyms choose not to follow the rules. Sitting back and letting it happen even though you know it's against the rules is just as bad. A conversation should be had with...

    Parents What JO level would my daughter be?

    Level 3. Also, it's no longer called JO, it is now called DP.

    Parents Gateway skills for DP Compulsory Levels?

    I agree with this. Plus, there is so much more to moving up levels than "unlocking" certain skills. I find that an odd term to use to begin with. It's not just about doing certain skills. It's about their form when they do them, form and shaping on basics, attitude, work ethic, etc. I wouldn't...

    Parents XB to JO

    To answer your question about scoring out. That won't factor in at this point. She will likely go from Bronze to level 2, 3 or 4 (depending on her skills), and you don't need to score out to enter at any of those levels. If she went to level 5, she would need to score out of 4 first. But I don't...

    Parents Scoring out level 4 & 5

    If she's training 6, scoring out of level 5 shouldn't be a problem. My daughter scored out of 4 after silver and just scored out of 5 (after gold) with only 3 weeks to prepare. And scored just shy of a 36.

    Parents Scoring out level 4 & 5

    Well it's "doable" in the sense that your coach is willing to break the rules and is taking a risk. Doesn't make it ok. It could end up being an issue for the girls down the road. For example, if they ever wanted to switch gyms...If the new gym is like ours, they will check. Our owner is...

    Women Projected xcel level?

    You would most likely be invited to Bronze at our gym.

    Parents Keep paid up

    And she may very well decide to eventually go back. But you want her to make that decision for herself, not because of you pushing her. And if she does, you can easily renew her membership, and do the score out meets.

    Parents Keep paid up

    Not trying to sound rude, but it sounds like this is more about what you want for her than what she wants.

    Parents Keep paid up

    Let her quit. If she decides to eventually go back, then you can deal with the score-outs then. Now is not the time to worry about that. Support her decision and let her move on.

    Women FHS vault - head out a good thing?

    You are comparing apples to oranges by comparing vaults from an elite gymnast to a level 4. There's a lot more going on in your daughter's vaults than just head in vs. head out. While the vault with her head out MAY have scored better, it wouldn't have been by much. In order to learn to do this...
