I want to say something to the gym owner and/or head coach about this, but I’ve kept it to myself because I don’t want to appear petty and crazy.
Our gym does not usually compete level 6. This year was a little different and my daughter and another girl were deemed not ready to jump from 5 to 7, so the coaches reluctantly decided to try them at 6 at the last minute. The coaches seemed disappointed in my daughter and her teammate but the girls made the best of it. My daughter and her fellow teammate had an incredible season and ended up both winning states in their respective age groups.
On the gym’s Instagram, they have posted a feature every few days celebrating the team’s accomplishments at states and each girls’ placements and scores. They started with optionals, and worked their way down from level 10 to level 7. I thought 6 would be next so I was a little disappointed when I refreshed Instagram one day and they started honoring compulsories from level 3 to 5. Fine, I figured they were batching 6 with them and it would come after level 5.
Except now it’s been 10 days and it’s a month after states and my daughter and her teammate are the only girls who were never recognized. It’s possible it’s an oversight and the owner forgot they had two girls competing level 6. Except part of me thinks they’re never going to post it because they don’t usually compete level 6 and they don’t want college teams thinking that the gym has girls who don’t skip 6. I’m sure I’m over analyzing it but I’m disappointed that my daughter won AA and multiple events at states and isn’t being celebrated like the rest of the girls.
I don’t want to reach out to the owner because I’ll come off as crazy and petty, so I’m venting here instead while refreshing Instagram daily. There has always been some favoritism in my daughter’s workout group so I have trouble seeing this objectively.
