Women Changing Bar Settings?

[Scream4IceCream]

Is it common to have a gymnast practice on different bar settings based on who is in the practice group that day? My daughter is just putting her giants on the bar set and she’s only comfortable doing them on the wider setting, but it seems like about half the time she has to go on the closer setting because there are less girls who use that setting and my daughter is considered short enough to go on the closer setting. She says it’s hard to get the giants in her muscle memory when she’s constantly switching settings and going on the closer setting also affects the feeling of her KCH and flyaway (if not doing the giants). I’m just curious if this is common in other gyms.

Our (Xcel only) gym had two sets of bars and one was a smaller setting and one was bigger. When we rotated through stations, would have the girls do high bar/full routines on their setting and then low bar/drill/cast handstand work when they weren't on their setting. It worked for us.
