My dd who will be 7 in a couple of months has been doing rec gymnastics for nearly 2 years, she has been doing well and has had praise from several coaches over the past few months saying how well she is doing and she is good at gym, one of the coaches said she was doing very well and when the done some sort of skills testing she done very well and that the coach wouldn't be surprised if she was taken out of rec. Dd has past all of her gymnastics proficiency badges first time and has only 1 more to get (we are from the uk). So far nothing has happened, my dd also had a different coach for rec and was told how good she was at the bit they were working on and asked how old she was and when her birthday was (the coach only asked dd as she said she was good), fast forward a few weeks and another coach also another rec coach who dd knows is starting a new development group next month and has started to invite girls to join.
Dd has not been asked and this is something she really wants, I feel very frustrated for dd as despite all the positive feed back she has been left in rec, I have come to a point where I don't want to keep paying for 2 rec sessions a week just for her to be passed over as there is no sign of progression, being in rec for as long as she has she is just repeating stuff she has already done. I have asked dd if she wants to continue with gym and she does but she is not too happy being in rec so it will come to the point where we will have to say enough is enough.
I am just unsure how much longer to give it, do I let her continue and hope for changes and hope she does move out of rec? Dd is always at lessons on time and always does any extra sessions that are on offer throughout the holiday, she is always dressed properly for gym with her hair up tidy. I have told her to let the coaches know she wants to move up as she is old enough to tell them, I don't know what else to do, but it is hard to watch her get passed by for something she wants.
Thank for listening to my rambles..
