DD has been competing on a rec team in level 2. Her gym can only take them through level 3, so we would have to make this decision in a year anyway. A lot of our kids feed into the team at a sister gym, and my daughter tried out and was offered a spot on their bronze team.
It's a big jump from 3 hours to 9 hours per week. They will be going from "oh yay, you got that skill" to requiring perfection. I'm not sure she can hang, but beyond a trial practice or 2, there isn't any sort of transition period. She would start next month.
I'm hoping that the bigger commitment will help her with some skills she's not strong in, like time management, etc. But if she crashes and burns, we can't go back to the old gym (they are keeping ratios lower next season and expect to fill up). Advice? Mom might be more nervous than DD is.
