I don't often post regarding my oldest dd when it comes to worries etc. My dd has a competition in 3 weeks and it will last all weekend and involves an quite expensive hotel stay and a 6 hour minimum drive. My dd went last year and enjoyed it. This year dd has gone up a level in gym and will also be competing trampolining. As far as I know everything is ok with the Artistic Gymnastics side of things but she is worried about the trampolining side of things.
Dd does rec trampolining and she only gets 1 hour a week training not taking time out for warms ups and sharing 2 trampolines with 6-8 other children. Dd is in a disability group and things can get difficult with the behaviour of a few and time is taken with them. Dd has not started her routine and doesn't know what to do, the coach wasn't there this week and the lesson was taken by 2 other coaches who were suppose to go through the routine with dd, they didn't as they had to deal with other issues with other children. Dd has now got 3 lessons left and will only get around 5-10 mins per lesson trampoline time (unless they make other arrangements). Dd is worried that she will not be ready for her comp and I am secretly concerned due to the distance etc if she is not ready or happy. I don't want to put her under pressure and would be happy to not go if that is what she wants.
I don't want her to be worried over nothing or pressured into this comp with little time to do things. I dd does decide not to go will do you think the coach will be upset? It is not dd's fault and this competition was planned months ago. Dd will be doing a 10 bounce routine and is not secure on all the moves, she can do nearly all of the stuff except front drop which is more or less there but needs some work. Dd cannot go through the stuff in her head at home as she has no idea what she has to do.
