[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:  Our dd has the body type and the determination.  I'm not sure about the skill, but pre-team is an option, so I guess she has the potential to have some skills.  I do not see her making it to the elite level; I don't think that she has the natural ability, but I could see her doing perfectly fine during the early years.  This is part of the problem that I have at this stage.  I hate the thought of her spending hours and hours at a gym knowing that it probably will be short lived and taking away from other things that she also loves.  She is begging me to go to the gym multiple times per week and she is sort of hanging out in the regular classes not being challenged.[/quote]

Why don't you try the pre team then and see how it goes?[/quote]

I don't understand why you would keep her in regular classes?  I agree that she isn't going to learn much.  Your dd doesn't have to be an elite gymnast to have it be a worthwhile sport.  I mean, we don't have these expectations when we sign our kids up for soccer,etc.  My dd is on the pre team track.  At our gym there are less competitive recreation league team opportunities.  They don't require as much of a commitment.  [/quote]
