Women Repeating

[Misunderstood]

My child wants to repeat level 4 for the upcoming season. I asked her why and she says that she doesn’t like level 5 routines. I don’t want her to be bored with level 5 and do terrible during the comp season. Idk how I feel about this and if it would be beneficial. Her coach is still evaluating her. She had an ok season in level 4. Her scores ranged from 34-36.
Any thoughts ?

That's not really a great reason, but kids are kids. I would facilitate a conversation between her and her coach. Would she be able to work upgrades? Are they open to her scoring out of level 5 with two 36s at level 4 this year and moving to level 6 for the following season?

As a parent, is there anything else you can see that she might not be expressing? Is there a different coach for level 5? Different practice days/times? Are her friends staying in 4? Does she want the opportunity to be one of the better/higher placing athletes?
