    Coaches Will preschool bar make it harder to use regular bars?

    After much begging from A and her dad saying she could have one, I caved and found a little bar for A on Craigslist. It is a really nice bar, but I am worried because the bar is smaller in diameter than a regular bar (1" versus 1.5") and it is metal. She is almost 6 and training level 4. She...
