DD's (age 6) first Tops practice was great! I wasn't sure how she would like 2.5 hours of strength training and conditioning. She loved it! I watched the last 45 minutes and watched her do parallettes and rope climbing. *Brag warning* - She was the only girl in the class who could climb the rope in pike position with just her arms. This made me proud of her and feel really good about switching to this gym. At our old gym, they wanted her out of the competitive program, and suggested she just take rec. classes because "her personality wasn't right for competitive gymnastics". Boy is she proving them wrong!
Her new coach (the owner/head coach of the gym) is so energetic, fun, and positive. DD works SO HARD for him. She is looking better than ever, and has made so much progress in the past 2 months. It's amazing how much difference a great coach makes.

. So we moved to a new cheer gym (a very competitive big name gym) and not only was she a flyer but she was also the most flexible one in the gym. If anyone has seen her meet videos you all can all atest to her flexibility and her size 
. I can't stand coaches when they make flippant remarks like that without giving the child a chance first.
