Parents Je requirements

[Ivanb]

Hi all. New to this forum.
Question I have with my level 8 son.
He has been looking forward to level 8 JE this year and the head coach did not put him in as that .
Who makes the decision to move up to JE? I was told it is the gymnast competing. He has almost all the skills down. And previous years the other boys went JE knowing they wouldn’t do too great but got lots of experience. The old coaches allowed it.

I just don’t know if this new coach forgot and it’s too late to change status or he just said no just because …

I think this is only a question you can ask the coach. Each gym decides that on their own. My son trained JE and could do it, but he and his coach decided it would be better for him to be the top of the JO group than mid to low for JE.

Has your son talked to the coach about his desire to go JE?
