My daughter is going to be 11 next week and I'm just wondering if her progression is typical in gymnastics . At our gym , they don't compete until old level 5 . So, she did one year 5, one year 6, scored out of 7 by attending one meet and then did level 8 last year, and now is doing 9. Her coaches philosophy is move them up as quick as possible at a young age , no matter what the scores are . She is in a group of 4 girls between 11-12 who she's moving to level 10 as quick as possible . The one girl who is left who she started with in the beginning on preteam is still at level 7 ... The new group she is training with are amazingly talented all were 9s last year and are 12 years old so she is the new kid on the block .
I just hear about alot of kids here that do numerous years at same levels and I am a little concerned about her burning out at a young age .
