Between 5th and 6th grade, and again between 8th and 9th grade. Regardless of level or JO vs Excel track.

My DD glimpsed this exact thing over the summer at the age of 12 as she'd been struggling to make solid progress (in her opinion). She got through it, but it wasn't pretty for awhile there, and I'm not sure it's completely over. "I suck and I'm there all the time and I'm just not a good gymnast so I want to try something new" was heard many, many, many times.
