[quote=Anonymous]My son is a L7 gymnast and he has been through some of this. If she has a good coach who understands fears and can be patient with your DD as she works through it, I don't think this is a reason to quit if she wants to continue.

If she is asking to quit? If she is, I'd consider whether she's ready to move on. Diving and track are sports that gymnasts can often transition into pretty easily; cheerleading and acro-dance are others. My son does rock-climbing sometimes and is often asked to join their competitive team. So there are a lot of options.

Personally, given the cost and commitment (which only increase), I wouldn't push her to stay if she doesn't want to and is actively interested in doing something else. My son isn't one of those kids who LOVES gymnastics, but he is very good at it and has zero interest in any other sports, so we're sticking with it for now.

Last thought -- does your gym have the option to switch to Xcel w/fewer hours? That could be a good option that would free up some time to try new things without the pressure and hours of JO.[/quote]
