DD moving up to train with the "big girls"

[Canadian_gym_mom]

DD is 7 (competing 8 yrs as she turns 8 in December) and today after training the head coach took my husband aside and said that she was ready to move out of her current group and start training with the older girls full time!!

Her group currently trains Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and she has been training with the more advanced girls on Wednesdays. Today she apparently out-trained them in all the conditioning (67 "box jumps" in a minute?), and she told me on the phone she stuck 100 full turns on the FIG beam and she got her back handspring on the low beam "with only one mat"(whatever that means, lol).

She was so excited to tell me on the phone and was asking, so can I train with them mommy, can I?

That's my little brag for the day!!

Thanks! We are not sure what level she will compete this year yet. There was talk of Pre Novice National but I think that might still be a year away. Looking at the requirements for different levels here I am thinking maybe 6?
