I have to share the news with all of you! My 6 year old has been doing gymnastics since last June and when she started out she was put right on the level 3 pre-team where she LOVED her coach and he taught her SOOOO much in such a short time. He ended up leaving the gym and of course my daughter didn't want to stay at that gym because he had left. We took her to a different gym and they just didn't work on anything with her and she was on rec for about 8 months which she didn't like because she wasn't learning anything new. Well we stayed in touch with her coach and he ended up starting at a new facility a little bit further away and 4 weeks ago she started again with him there as a level 3/4 and within 3 weeks of being with him she got her standing back handspring and the next day during her tramp and tumble class she got her round off back handspring and this last week she did a round off with 4 back handsprings and he spotted her in a back tuck. She has been soooooo happy to be back training with him. This new facility has asked us to put her on to their team but she doesn't want to go because he isn't training the team girls just yet. He plans to within a year but my daughter won't go unless he is there training her. She is training with him 4 hours a week and she is just really shining. I had to hold myself back when she finally got it. I wanted to run out onto the floor and hug her but I was a good mom and just jumped up and down and clapped my hands for her. I just wanted to share our excitement with all of you. When I get good at taking pictures inside the gym I will put some up for all to see. Thanks for letting me share our news.
