I'm hopeful for some advice from you helpful seasoned team Moms! We moved across the country and my 8 year old did evaluation at gym here in Virginia. They asked her to be on the level 3 team. So she started in September. The first few weeks were hard for her body to adjust from 4 hours at her old gym to 12 hours here. She was also was behind everyone else learning the routines and some new skills.
She had her first meet today and I was proud of her. However her scores were low, I expected they would be. She is now worried she will be "kicked off" the team for her scores. Is that something that happens with teams?
I'm new to team gymnastics and have tried to lurk here for a while. I just wondered if in general teams make "cuts". The gym doesn't seem to want us to communicate much with the coaches. I just feel bad tonight that's she's worried. She works hard and has a good attitude if that counts?!
Thank you!
