[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't say there's no chance she'll want to compete, I just think it's pretty unlikely (and if she did, it would likely be only if it was a more casual team rather than a really intense one requiring tons of practicing.)  Does that change anything?

Also it looks like most of the tumbling classes also involve trampoline, is that typical?[/quote]

Emilia's and Xtreme are both primarily acro gyms. Neither of them offer competitive artistic (Olympic) gymnastics.

Acro is less intense than artistic, imo, until you reach the top levels.

Many gyms that offer artistic teams have added Xcel programs. The Development Program (DP) is the long-standing USA Gymnastics competition levels. It can get very intense very quick. Xcel is also USAG, but it is meant to be more low-key, with a lower level of skill required to compete, more flexibility in skill choice, and less hours. If you think your daughter might want to consider competing, look for a gym that offers Xcel so that path is open in the future.

Trampoline & Tumbling is another competition route, and like acro, much more low key until you reach the top levels. That's why you often see trampoline paired with tumbling when it comes to recreation classes. Plus, trampoline helps build air awareness and is a very useful tool for learning more advanced skills before taking them to the floor.

I highly recommend going with the gym that best fits your schedule and doesn't require more driving than necessary. It's beginner gymnastics. Your daughter might take 5 classes and decides she hates it. Don't make decisions based on some hypothetical future. Do what's easiest. You can always move gyms later.[/quote]
