Proud Parent
Hi, I’m new to Chalkbucket! So my daughter (12) has been doing recreational gymnastics for quite a while, and now she has made the decision to tryout for team. The team she is trying out for is JOGA level 6. It’s an optional New Jersey program and is equivalent to usag 4/5. Her friends who did try out have all made it onto the team, and my daughter has most of the skills required (handspring over vault, round off back handspring, front handspring front tuck, front tuck off beam, baby giants, flyaway, just to name a few). We contacted the gym and they are not even going to let her try out. They said that the reason why is because she needs a kip (which all the other girls who made it don’t). I don’t think it is worth it for her to stay in another year of rec just to get one skill. What should I do? Any help would be appreciated!
