Team Photos 2008

Victoria is on the far left, back row.
Lilly is on the far right, front row.

Here are the girls' gymnastic team photos for 2008. I am so proud of them both and they both worked so hard. Lilly was training 4 hours a week and Victoria 3. They want Victoria to continue at 3 hours a week because she is the youngest on the team, at 4 1/2, but the coaches would like Lilly to start training 13 hours a week in the Summer and then cut back to 12 hours per week when school begins. She would enter Level 4, which is the competitive team, and travel across the region for competitions. Darrin is having a hard time with this concept, he feels 12-13 hours a week is a bit much for a 7 year old. I tend to agree, but then again you hate to hold back your child if she shows a talent for something. Darrin feels private lessons with her coaches is the way to go until she is older and more able to make the time commitment for competition. He wants to spend more time at home with her. Lilly tends to agree with her Dad, but I have a feeling after a few weeks off the team, she will begin begging to go back. I guess this is to be determined at a later date.
