My 9year old daughter is about to try out for a xcel silver team. She failed to join in compulsory team and stayed in intermediate recreational level for 1.5 year. The coach pointed that her upper body strength is not good enough. Her weakest is pull ups. She only can do one in a correct position. Other than that she is flexible and hold more than 5 sec in a handstand position. Also she can do press handstand and round off back handspring.
However what I’m concerned is that her body shape. She does not have a typical gymnast body shape. She has a belly and her legs, shoulder and arms are a bunch of muscles. However she looks, she really loves gynmastics and wants to compete. I want to support her in Xcel program and I’d like to know what she needs to prepare in a tryout.
