Although you are permitted to drop out of the Olympics, you truly should not unless it is totally unavoidable. The Olympics is the culmination of the recreational program every year and is part of our program. This is what the athletes having been working so hard for.
Don't regret removing your athlete from this big event, their peers will be talking about it and working toward it in each class!

Gymnastics Tip of the Month
Don't move on until you've made an improvement. When learning a new skill, it's crucial to end each training session with some progress. Leaving without improvement can lead to stagnation or even regression. If you're struggling with a skill, follow these steps:
1. Identify the problem: Ask your coach for specific feedback on what needs improvement.
2. Break it down: Practice just the problematic part of the skill or sequence, rather than the entire movement.
3. Refocus and attempt: Try the full skill again, keeping the identified issue in mind. Evaluate and repeat: If you've made progress, you can either move on or attempt the skill correctly two more times (never more).
Remember, consistent small improvements lead to mastery!
