My daughter is going into her second season of Xcel Gold gymnastics. She hopes to be moved up to platinum next year. What skills will she need/do you think it's realistic?
Skills she has:
Floor she has ROBH and ROBHBH, front tuck, front handspring, front handspring step-out roundoff, ariel on tumble track, and has worked a couple ROBH tucks with spot.
Beam she has cartwheel, handstand, split jump/straight jump, full turn, 1.5 turn but not consistent, and back walkover, again not consistent, but this time due to back problems.
Vault all she has is front handspring over table.
Bars she has both low bar and high bar kips but they need to be cleaned up, single and double back hip circle, started working free hips but not close yet, squat on + catch high bar, and worked on flyaway a little during the summer and not too far from getting that.
From what I'm thinking floor is where she needs to work the most? Her back tumbling isn't as good as she would like and her coach keeps her from practicing ROBH tucks very much until her double back handspring is cleaned up.
What skills does she need to get? Is this a realistic goal for her? She has about a year to do this, but her gym generally only works upgrades in the summer, and even then don't rush it very much.
Thanks
