I know there's no right answer and I'm leaning in one direction for sure, but give me advice. Maybe help me see something I'm not seeing.
So DD has competed three level 4 meets and scored fine. She's in level 5, but will have to compete level 4 again in the fall because she won't be 7 yet. I'm happy to have her compete because she should score great by then if she's already scoring a high 36-low 37 range now. She loves competing and will look forward to it. You can tell which direction I'm leaning.
Her dad on the other hand says it's better for her to forget about level 4 and just focus on being ready to do level 5 in January when she turns 7. Competition at this age and level is a waste of time and money, blah, blah, blah.
She'll compete almost every weekend Sept - the 2nd weekend in Nov and then have about 6 weeks to get ready for her first level 5 meet.
Should I let her compete Level 4 or just forget about it and let her just train level 5 exclusively? Will it be confusing for a 6 year old to do 2 floor routines and 2 beam routines? I want her to compete level 4 because I think she'll enjoy it and she'll do well.
