He began training in gentle introductory classes at two years old or so and then began team training with me at 4-5 years old.

Wow that i a very young age? A age 2? I assume his parents made him do gymnastics? Or did he decide at age 2?

You didn't understood. He started seriously at the age of 4 or 5, all before was learning trough playing or in the other word recreational. And at the last, to be in the National Team you must have be a talent, not every one can be in or can do the same.

At that age there is very little "making" involved with their training. Most of the class time is spent allowing them to run, jump, climb and explore the various pieces of equipment with a little guidance from their parents and teachers.

Actually it was named after his older brother, Allan, who is the current Jr National Champion.

Did Alex test 8-9 years old again or did you have him compete up to 10 years old at this years Future Stars Regionals. I was just curious to see how you develop such an athlete. I have 2 boys similar age who tested 8-9 yr old last weekend who scored 80 81. Since the future star program is becoming stronger maybe we could have more of a forum type of dicussion on what you think about transitioning Future Stars to JO level 9. I know it helped Allan make his adjustment very well.

Thank You for your time , this site and forum has been a great asset for me to help improve my program.
