[quote=Anonymous]So this our current life as a level 3 gymnast and DD will bow out after this year. One thing I didn't realize is that your kid may also need private lessons in addition to the 9 hours of practice time if they aren't earning good meet scores in order for them to not fall behind and have to repeat a level. DD has needed a lot of extra work on her skills and she and I were both feeling exhausted. She made the decision that 9 hours is too many and next year the expectation for 12 hours would be way too much. However, I also don't regret her doing the team and thought it was a great experience of learning hard work, experiencing the team camaraderie, and performing in front of others. She avoided a lot of school drama that has kicked in with the girls at school because she has friends on the team and she was too busy to get sucked into it[/quote]
