[quote=Anonymous]It's sort of a nightmare, but you'll get good advice about specific gyms on chalkbucket.com if you post there. Don't be tempted to get too personal- people share way too much there and you don't need that drama.

My DD is in DP and younger than yours but honestly the only girls who aren't constantly questioning whether they should keep going are the prodigies that get all of the attention. And I'm sure they have their moments, but they're under a lot of pressure to appear happy. If you aren't in a state with HS gymnastics, then I think the goal is to just keep them participating in any gymnastics through middle school and then consider what HS sports they might enjoy. So choose whatever gym has space right now and is a decent commute.

7th or 8th grade is a terrible time to suddenly have a lot of free time at home. A lot of girls at our gym go on to do multiple sports in HS, especially track, diving and rowing. Some of them keep up their basic skills by attending 1x/week HS classes and open gym, especially if they're involved in more casual HS dance or cheer programs.[/quote]
