I have a very young competing gymnast(she just turned 8 last month) she competed last year at a level 4 for a very small gym. She is a natural and tends to pick up on things quickly. Last year- was a rougher year after her year of level 3. During level 3 she was placing near the top consistently and placed first AA several times. As a level 4- she is very young and our gym only competes at small meets so all level 4s were combined into one group with no age division. Only a few meets had one split in ages. So she competed against girls quite a bit older than her. Also struggled on bars until the end of the season when she finally nailed both kips in the routine and also on vault until she was able to kick her fear of the table vault . She is a strong tumbler. Has her ROBHSBT, front and side aerials, series tumbles, etc. she is working fly always, will do a back walkover on low beam consistently. He coach has mentioned the possibility of moving her to a level 5 for this season (starting in October- November) I am unsure of the right decision to make. She is so young and I don't want to hold her back but I also don't want her to feel inferior against "big girls"
