    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.

    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...

    Parents Advice, gym fit, level 4

    I hear what you are saying. I'm just suggesting that maybe the coaching/gym isn't the major problem. Especially since you're indicating that teammates scores are not dropping as much as your daughter's have from L3 to L4. I'm simply pointing out that maybe your daughter is having a hard time...

    Parents Advice, gym fit, level 4

    If your daughter is "deeply upset and losing sleep over her scores and performance", it's time to take a step back and reevaluate. You say scores don't matter, but also admit to pouring over scores and comparing her progress to teammates progress. Mama...stop and take a breath. Stop looking at...

    Parents Advice, gym fit, level 4

    So am I understanding correctly that your daughter is the only one at her current gym whose scores have dropped significantly from L3 to L4?

    Parents Advice, gym fit, level 4

    I'm confused. You state "She’s a 39 compulsory gymnast", yet she's struggling to score 36's in L4? Or are you saying she's a 39 compulsory gymnast solely based on her scores in L3? Because that's comparing apples to oranges. L3 isn't even a required level. You claim nothing is different this...

    Parents Meet Critique Website

    I would agree with this. If she wants to use meet critique simply to educate herself, there's certainly no harm in doing so. I will say that as Meet Critique has become more popular, I have noticed a trend in parents complaining that their child was not given a fair score at a meet, because when...

    Parents Meet Critique Website

    I won't repeat what others have already mentioned. But I will remind you that judges are seeing deductions that you, as a new gym mom, are not trained to see. In my daughter's first couple of seasons, I learned very quickly for every deduction I saw, the judges saw 6 :) As you go through her...

    Coaches Gymnast mum clueless lol

    Yeah I was confused by her statement that they can't tell her to leave because it's a business.
