My oldest dd and I travelled away to a meet this weekend and we went with her coach and my youngest dd's coach and a assistant. Wasn't really looking forward to spending 5 +hours in a car with then! nothing personal, just don't really know them outside of the gym so felt awkward.
It turned out to be a great weekend and I ended up getting to know the coaches better and avoided ' personal' discussions about my youngest dd's gymnastics with her coach as didn't think it was appropriate , stuck to general chat about gym and the groups, youngest dd's coach old me that they will be doing grades in the early part of next year (dd turns 9 at the end of next year). I had no idea that they were going to do grades so was surprised. Dd's group trains 5 hours a week at the moment and the coach wants them to do more, just getting time and space in the gym.
As I am new to Grades, has any one got any information on the side of things. I have been to the disability NDP grades and know a little about that side of things but have no clue about the mainstream side of things , are the grades dd's coach mentioned similar to the disability NDP 's or are there other grades that they take that are not NDP?
