Hello,

My daughter 9 yrs old competing L4 this year. I am hesitating about moving her to a different club closer to our home.
She has been in the current gym for 4 years and she loves it. This is a great gym with elite program and family like atmosphere. The coach put her in the TOPs program but I know she is relatively less talented compared with other kids. But She is making good progress since she got in the TOPs with head coach.


Now here is the other side. Commute time is huge (2hrs/day) and she is basically fully scheduled every day. She always say she only wants to train up to lv6 because she is scared of the skills of higher levels. Here is another good gym closer to us(half of the commute time) but some people Say this gym has very different atmosphere. I am thinking if she is going to quit sooner or later, it makes no sense to spend so much time on it. She can do more using the time. I also don’t want elimination the possibility to go upper because she is still young . Don’t know how much a club can make a gymnast grow differently.

Please give me some advice . Thank you very much!
