Zoe's first gymnastics meet - Rock n Rock Classic

Zoe has been doing gymnastics since she was 3. She started on the Arizona Dynamics development team  right after her 4th birthday. She moved up to the highest level development team in December of last year. she has amazed us how she is able to juggle practice at the gym 8 hours a week and her school work. She loves the sport. She is always doing handstands, bridge kickovers, and many other tricks all over the house and outside.

To introduce the girls to the competitions, they invite the level A development team to join the Level 2 team girls in three meets during the fall competition season. They started practicing their routines back in July for the first competitions in October. Until now they have only worked on individual skills, so to put them together into a routine and remember the sequence in more than one event certainly took some time. The floor routine was challenging for them to get their routine synced with the music. It was amazing to see the progress the girls made in such a short time.

Her first meet was the Rock-n-Roll Classic which was hosted by Arizona Dynamics. Zoe actually woke up not feeling well that morning. We encouraged her to still go since she didn't have a fever and she wanted to. By her last event (beam) she was getting wobbly and clearly wasn't feeling well. It was later that weekend she ended spending time in the hospital with a respiratory virus.

Here is the video of the meet.
