I have never done this, but I gave my daughter an ultimatum: score out of level 5 or retire. She has done this level for 2 years. She has scored almost exactly the same at every meet for the past 2 years (around 30.3-30.8). Her coach agrees with me on this. Either she needs to practice more seriously, or she has reached her peak. I'm not sure which one is the case. I'm tired of spending my money with no improvement. Actually, she may have gone backwards on skills and form over the last year. Also, it takes up time when she could be doing other activities that she enjoys. She does not want to quit. She has 2-3 more meets to score out. She is 12 and will be in junior high next year. She will not be able to do any school activities if she continues with gymnastics. She has fallen in love with tennis lately. We could invest more time and money in this if she didn't have gymnastics. I don't mind her continuing if she is improving, but I hate wasting my money and her time.
