Hi everyone I'm looking for different points of view from coaches and parents. My dd is 8 but competes as a 9 year old she has been in gym since she was 5 and joined team when she was 6 doing 12 hours a week she currently does 15 hours a week and I'm pretty sure her club aren't going to put her in for grades in March maybe a floor and vault and a voluntary comp that's it.
Am I being too crazy to think that my kid who isn't a superstar but is a hard worker came in the middle for comps the last 2 years and improved all her scores on all events should be able to compete grades? We don't do the compulsory route because they last time the gym did that the hpc nearby took all the girls so they don't put them in for those comps anymore.
I feel like because she is not one of the favourite 4 she gets below par coaching I know we are tight on coaches but it literally some weeks is the same thing over and over without corrections being taught by a teenager that has no qualifications (she was an ex gymnast) but she much rather be the girls friend than a coach.
I guess I'm just feeling gutted that although I been on here a while I decided to stay at this gym and trust them, is she totally off the elite pathway now? Should I move her now or wait? I just want her to have the chance to show what she can do I know there's probably a million things a new gym will tell me they have to fix.There are other gym choices nearby but they have always been slated by current gym so they kinda scared me off them he's cause I don't want to end being a gym hopper if we move and we don't like it.
I guess I'm just asking if there's any pointivibg now because it's too late
Thanks
