When does my child move to the next level?

​​What to Consider Before Moving Up A Gymnastics Level

As we continue to nurture our gymnasts' growth and development, we want to take a moment to discuss an important topic: the opportunity for your gymnast to move up a level.

When a gymnast meets certain requirements, they may be offered the chance to advance. This can be an exciting milestone, but it also comes with its own set of advantages and challenges. We understand that deciding whether to allow your gymnast to move up can be a difficult decision for parents, so we want to provide you with some key considerations to help guide your choice.


Advantages of Moving Up:
  • Skill Development: Advancing allows your gymnast to work on more difficult skills and techniques, fostering their growth and expanding their capabilities.
  • Competition Exposure: Competing with higher-level gymnasts can be a great opportunity for learning and improvement, pushing them to elevate their performance.

Potential Disadvantages:
  • Confidence Levels: While the prospect of moving up can boost confidence initially, it may also lead to feelings of intimidation if your gymnast feels unprepared for the new skills and challenges.
  • Increased Pressure: Competing against more experienced gymnasts can sometimes leave them feeling self-conscious, which may impact their overall confidence.

Factors to Consider Before the Jump:
  • Maturity: Younger gymnasts may struggle emotionally with the transition. It's essential to ensure they can handle the expectations and pressures of a higher level. They may excel in certain areas but feel unprepared for the new challenges ahead.
  • Commitment: Moving up requires a greater commitment to training. Ensure that both your gymnast and your family are prepared for the additional time and effort this will entail.
  • Individual Path: Remember, every gymnast develops at their own pace. If your gymnast is not ready to move up, it’s not a failure but an opportunity for further growth. Repeating a level can be beneficial for mastering skills and building confidence.

As you consider these factors, we encourage open communication with your gymnast and their coach. Together, you can make the best decision that aligns with their goals and readiness.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our gymnastics program. We are here to help your gymnast thrive, no matter which level they are at!
