    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...

    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.

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

    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...

    Parents I think my daughter is being intentionally held back….

    Exactly this. You have already been given an answer. Listen to them. You seem to be getting overly focused on convincing the female coach that your daughter deserves a spot on the team, instead of simply finding a gym that WANTS your daughter.

    Parents I think my daughter is being intentionally held back….

    I don't understand why you are still fighting this battle. They have made it clear to you she is not going to get a spot on team. You say she has built a great relationship with the rec coach, so you don't really want to leave. Yet the team coach clearly has no interest in your daughter joining...

    Parents Training group confusion

    Perhaps she hasn't progressed as well as the girls that have been placed on silver/gold. I know you say that she has level 3/4 skills, but how is the quality of those skills? My guess is that the coaches decided she wasn't competition ready. But she's still young, you have time. But the bottom...
