I know this question has been asked but humor me. How often do gyms require gymnast to repeat a level. Some of our gyms in our state seem to make kids repeat level 3 or 4 no matter how high the kids score. I really just don't understand the point except the podium. My friends DD lowest score was >35 all season yet she is being made to repeat. Per my friend she has all lvl 4 skills and we wont start our next season till Nov. Her coach also lectured them on how disappointed she was with them for placing 2nd in states. Meanwhile, my DD lives in the high 34's. She has most of her lvl 4 and some 5-7 skills. She appears to be on track for lvl 4 and the coaches think she is amazing. I dont get it. I dont know what they see in my child that makes them so happy when her score are nothing to celebrate. Is it worth repeating to see the higher scores or does it just increase the frustration of the gymnast? Is my dd going to miss something by not repeating? I wish I understood this sport better.
