I'm jealous of all of you. We don't even have a summer schedule yet...

yes my girls are mon and Thursdays (normal is Wed night and Sat mornings during the year)

there is an alternative day on Thursday for some of the girls who rides are a problem!!

They start at 5:30!! I just realised I said this wrong!! Monday and Thursday nights for the preteam!!
Mon, Wed nights and Thursday mornings for the other levels (tho they have a Thursday night option for the girls who rides are a problem)

my brain is still sleeping so I hope that makes sense!! LOL

Both my girls are working level 6 and will go M-Th from 9-1. I think these are great hours as they will have the rest of the day to do whatever.

My dd is not thrilled with her summer schedule - only because the extra hour on the 5 hour days is going to be ballet - and she HATES doing ballet. Other than that she likes that sometimes it is at night and sometimes morning.

Gymbratsmom: I agree with you. 9-1 is so much better than 10-2.

We also have an a hour of ballet twice a week in the summer.

We also have no airconditioning in the gym!!!!!!! It will probably be a hot, humid summer!!

My DD just got her letter for Level 4. She is so excited. In July she will slowing build up her hours. But in August she will go for 4 hours 3/days plus one day 3 1/2 for TOPs.

Our hours actually decreased, though I think that is just a change that they were making anyway and I am thrilled about it and crossing my fingers that it stays that way. L4 used to be MW 4-7:15p F 4-8pm. Now it is MW 4-7 and F 5-8 (unless it was a typo). So that should be 9 hours instead of 10.5 hours. My DD has only been doing 2 days a week since April and is adding the 3rd day this month.

The optional girls though moved from M-F 4-8pm to M-F 9a-3p. Yikes. Our summer schedule is only June and July.

YIKES, how bad am I, I don't remember what the schedule is. It has been e-mail'd and changed so many times already I am just gonna wait and see at the end of the month in case it changes one more time. I think it will be 2 mornings (8:30 start time UGH!) and then 2 afternoons (12:30) a week which would be nice since my DD also does dive team. It will free up her nights and also some afternoons for swimming/dive and friends. Not a bad schedule, better than the nights we had last Summer.

Our summer schedule started yesterday. The pre-teams keep the same number of hours, but their actual practice times change. All the team girls do more hours. My gymmie is on the L7 schedule for now. Practice is Mon: 8-1, Tues: 2-7, Wed: off, Thur: 2-7 and Fri: 8-1---total of 20 hours. She seems to like having a full day free and only up "early" on 2 mornings. Should she officially be moved up to L8 during the summer then she would add another 5-6 hours to the schedule. Of course, tuition for the next few months goes up too.

Right now, they are almost completely focused on working all L8 skills and some L9 drills for those that are getting or have L8 skills down.

Hmmmmm---forgot to ask when she'll do ballet. My gymmie is just like flippymonkeysmom dd. Does NOT like ballet!!

My daughter just moved to Level 4 and will train 9 hours a week. Mon-Tue-Thur, 12-3. I work nights and will be quite tired, but I've already been offered a mat to sleep on by her coach.
