Parents Gymnastics camp?

[Ncgymnastmom]

I want to sign my daughter up for a gymnastics camp this year but I honestly don’t know what level to sign her up for. She just competed xcel gold and will be competing level 6 this upcoming fall(she’s been competing level 5/6 skills this seasons in gold and did level 4 the year prior). Most camps have a few options like lvl 3/5 and xcel silver/gold, level 6-10 and xcel platinum/diamond or level 8-10. I am unsure what to put her in but she really wants to do the level 6-10 since she thinks the lower level will be too easy but I am unsure if they want kids who have already competed level 6 or ones who are working toward it? Any advice?

Maybe talk to the coaches at the camp (before the camp, like email). Maybe put her in the level 6 groups as a challenge, but ultimatley you as her parent knows her best. Also ask her home coaches what they would suggest.

Could you ask the person who is in charge of the camp? They would know about past years and what level and year those kids were. Another factor to look at is what group has more kids her age.

I assume that level 6-10 would be more her age since she will be 11 soon that’s another reason she wants to do the higher level one. I did reach out and they said it’s up to me and she can do either. She does have the skills for the higher level skill camp so we may do that.

I'd go with the level 6-10 group. Since she’s already training level 5/6 skills and moving to level 6 this fall, she’ll get way more out of being pushed by higher-level girls.

The lower group might end up being mostly review for her, and camps are usually about seeing what's next. If you're worried, just double-check with her coach, but she sounds ready for the challenge.
