ODD is level 7 WAG 12 yo), ODS was level 4, 6, 6, working 5,7,7 (10 yo)
YDS will be 7 tomorrow. He has done pre-team for 14 months. He got his letter today and he is not moving up to team, so no competing this season. We moved gyms 3 months ago. I think the old gym had told him he'd compete this coming year. THe little friend who is a year younger than him moved up. And the coach had us order his competition shirt for the "expo" in May...but alas, not going to compete. He is taking it well. He is disappointed, but no tears (he's pretty laid back) He did say "I got my backdrop pullover and fixed my roundoff, like they said I needed to". Poor guy. ODS competed at 6, ODD competed at 7. So I am sure in his little mind, this isn't quite right that he will be 8. Obviously, it is cheaper for me to have him wait another year, but I just feel sad with him.
