I've been lurking for awhile and I can't seem to understand what it takes to make the team. My DD is 8. Been in rec classes for 2 years. Has pullover, BHC, shoot thru, almost has FHC and mill circle(needs spotting but doesn't get a lot of time in rec class to work on them). Has kick up handstand on beam, cartwheel on beam. Great RO, Back walkover, has BHS on trampoline but coach won't let her try on floor by herself w/o spotting. They moved her up to what they are calling a 'preteam' class that only meets once a week for 2 1/2 hours which I know is not enough conditioning for team. They say they will be on team and compete next season. I have her in another lower class on another day to get extra time and she takes a private lesson for more time. I see some girls on the white excel team that don't have their FHC consistently. My DD has a great attitude and the coaches say she is a hard worker. What does it take to make the team? I see girls on her that are on the excel teams that don't have FHC or mill circle. Is my gym just picky?
