My dd has been going to development classes for the past 2 weeks (once a week for 2 1/2 hours), she has been enjoying it so far and when she came out of the gym to get a drink after 45 minuets of warm up/ conditioning I asked her how it was going and she said "Its the best thing ever", I am happy with her class and like the fact that it is once a week as it gives her time to adjust to her new class as all she has know was 1 hour rec classes. I have only seen bits of her new class and I have a few questions that I don't want to bombard the coaches with.
I have been told that this is a trial - I was wondering how long trials generally last for, dd is the youngest in her class by 2-3 years so I am hoping that they will take that into consideration during the trial period.
Dd needs to build up her strength and her flexibility and I have they will give her time to do this, I did ask her coach in passing how dd was coping and was told that she was coping well and the coach went on to tell me that she didn't want to stretch dd too hard as she is tiny (just under the 4th centile on weight and height) and said that she didn't want injure her "growth plates" as she still has a lot of growing to do, I am impressed with that and that the coach is taking great care of her.
I guess I am worried that they will drop her back to rec, I haven't had any indication that this might happen but it took the gym so long to move her up that I am afraid that she might end up back to square one, the gym does advance rec classes for dd's age but dd didn't get invited to that so I guess I am worrying about nothing because they could have gone down that route first if they had any concerns.
Dd has made improvement in her flexibility in just 2 weeks and I am putting that down to the conditioning that she know does in her weekly class.
