My daughter, K, started gymnastics in June. Six months later, she's progressed to intermediate, skipping through two recreational levels in this session. I talked to her coach and he asked me if we were interested in team at all, or if we would prefer her to stay in recreational. I said we would be interested in team eventually, and he said she might be asked to do pre-team next year, depending on how her skills progressed. They don't start competing until 7 years old, which is a little over a year away (K turns 6 in March).
I guess I never expected her to progress so quickly - when she started she couldn't even do a cartwheel. She only goes one hour a week, and it's only been six months. Any thoughts or advice on what we can expect? I'm aware of the financial costs, as the tuition list for pre-team and team is posted every September, along with the practice times.
I don't want to push her, and I've asked her if she wants to do soccer again, or try teeball, basketball, karate, dance, etc. She just says no, thank you - only gymnastics!
Any advice or thoughts would be wonderful and very appreciated
