What do I do? Gymnastics is starting to ruin my life it's too easy!?

Okay me and my friend E started doing gymnastics together on the Saturday classes. Well after she started volleyball she had to stop Saturday classes because her vball games would go over. So she switched to Monday classes. There learning front handsprings and cart wheels on balance beams! (yes I can already do those but I never get to practice or anything because our class is so easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Their class is doing the handsprings on the trampolines and my class is SOOOO easy because all we do is split jumps and pike jumps on the trampolines! JUMPS!!!!! THAT'S IT!!! THIS IS NOT BALLET! I told my mom how unfair it is and she said the only thing I can do is talk to my coach and ask if were going to learn handsprings and cart wheels on balance beams. (I can already do a back walkover which I sometimes practice there when I'm early but I have to kick off of something :/) Of course my coach will say no because our class is full of 6 year old's who can't even do a somersault. I'm not trying to be rude though. I only enjoy challenging things, I completely HATE anything like what my class is doing. My mom also said to live with it because I'm moving up next week. Here I'll reply the conversation, mom "It's going to get harder and harder once you move up." me "Good. Finally." mom "Well, there's nothing I can do about it but you should talk to her and see, remember some classes learn stuff differently." In my head I was thinking that talking won't help at all because like I said before, my class is full of amateur 6 year old's who should still be in preschool. I've even seen their parents holding their water bottles and helping them put on their shoes when it's time to leave. So, what do you think I should do? How do I prove this to everyone that I have better skills than what they think. How?!?!

1. You need to switch classes. If you feel like you are ready to do those skills, you need to talk to a. your coach, or b. the owner of the gym. If this gym is logical, they would rather put you in a different class than lose your business! Communication is key here... you're going to have to talk to someone.
