I have an extremely hypermobile level 7 gymnast with beautiful artistry from ballet, but very lean, will never bulk up. In our gym, they are promoting very young, short, square girls. Any advice on how to cope with being passed over multiple times in the only gym within driving distance? How does she continue in the sport she loves?
 
I'm sorry you child is feeling passed over.
I wouldn't write her off. Unfortunately many gymnastics coaches lack education.

Can you access a sports/personal trainer/physio or similar that she can work with to help her develop the strength and stability she needs.

Many gymnasts these days are working with trainers in addition to their gymnastics especially at the elite level.
