Would love your insight and experience with this situation. My daughter is 10 and working on standing tuck and full. She is a base but shorter for her age. While she perfectly fine in this stunt position for now and successful at it, my concern is for as she gets older. Both sides of our family are short, no one over 5'6". So I know she will not be getting much taller. She used to fly on minis but has a muscular build and now bases. She continues to go to stretch class to maintain her great flexibility - can pull her body positions. Since the gym focuses on their current level she doesn't get the opportunity to work on flying skills at all. My concern is that she could end up, for example, level 4 in everything else but still 1 in flying. What would you suggest? Put her in flight privates even though she doesn't fly right now just to be successful if the coaches ever give her the opportunity? I just want her to have her options open still in the future. Have u ever seen some go from being a base to later on in level 3 or higher start flying?
