Our gym defines itself as an optional level gym. We have a large optional team for our area and our optional girls do well with some going on to college gymnastics. Here is my question - our first comp year is Level 4 and our girls don't compare well with other gyms. I don't think this bothers our coaches at all as long as the girls are improving. I hear they don't want to burn the kids out or spend inordinate amounts of time perfecting routines. Is this uncommon? Do different gyms have different goals for themselves? All I can say as parent of a L4 is our team is young, they look very physically strong, and they don't usually repeat levels. What do you think about this training strategy? Will it demoralize the girls?
