My daughter is almost 10. She competed level 4 last year and it was her second year. She is amazing at floor,beam and vault(she can do level 7-8 skills for all 3) but she can’t for the life of her figure out bars and she is about to give up. She was getting her kips on both high and low bar everytime with a connect but not great cast from october-March(scores around 8.5) then state came and she lost her high bar kip(got a 8) . Now she can’t hardly do kips at all(she misses about half of them and if she makes it she’s super bent arms and just sloppy) she is suppose to be working on level 5 but since she can’t make kips. She also can’t even begin to figure out how a clear hip works(she keeps just doing a regular old back hip circle). Honestly I don’t know what to do anymore. This is what happened her first year level 4 and why she repeated it’s like upgrade season comes and she forgets all her bar skills. Do we make her quit at this point because she will never move out of level 4 due to bars? Move to xcel? I just don’t know what to do anymore.
