Hey, my names brittany and I'm 14 years old I have competed prep rookie (age 10-11) then I competed level 5( age 12-13) but I got bored with the sport and stopped trying:/ so I decide to go back to prep novice! I competes that for a year and now I'm 14 almost 15 competing novice/intermediate. My skills are:
Floor-
Round off back handspring handspring
Round off back tuck

Round off back handspring back pike
Front handspring
Front handspring step out front handspring

Bars-
Level 5 routine (so that includes my kip!)
I have the level 6 routine as well..so flyaway and baby giant.
I'm starting to work giants on strap bar
Beam-
Back walkover

Sorry that was so long! But in 3 years when I'm a senior in highschool if you think I try hard what skills do you think I could possibly have? I would love to compete for NCAA but I think my only choice would be NAIGC..!

To have any real chance at college gymnastics, you're going to have to be elite for a D1 or D2 school for a smaller D3 school, you can probably get them to look at you if you're a competent level 9. But any lower than that and it's not happening. You're really going to have to up your game in a relatively short amount of time. Starting thinking of skills more along the lines of double arabians and such.
Sorry if it's not what you want to hear, but if you're almost 15 and you're not already level 7/8 on most events, then college gymnastics isn't likely in your future.
