What's your summer schedule???

[gymmom14]

My Dd will be training level 6 and will go 16 hours. Sounds like a lot to me. I hope she still enjoys her summer. She will go Monday, Tues., Wed. & Thurs. 10-2. What's your scehedule like?

My girls level4/5 and level6/7 are both supposed to do 15 hours a week 9-12 M-F. Though that is what I have paid for there will definitely days missed due to late nights, social moments and living life in general. Most of their friends are in the gym anyway or in other day camps, this way they'll have fun and stay fit whilst doing it.

They will also go to two weeks of sleep away gym camp that they absolutely love.

This is optional training at our gym, some girls do no summer training at all, in fact some girls finished training on May11th and will return the first week of September.

I think as long as the coaches are flexible and get that my kids will not be there all the time the hours are okay. Obviously they won't progress at the same rate as a child that attends every training, but I know it just won't happen.

DO you have flexibility within the schedule?

My dd is also competing L6 in the fall, but she will move on to L7 after Christmas. We actually have a light schedule since our coach will be gone most of the summer w/ the Olympics. We go M-Th 12:30 to 3pm and on Fri. 12 to 3pm and on Sat. 10 to 12pm. We have one week of gym camp where we go from 8 am to 2pm--it is at our gym with our 2 coaches...they don't like the girls working with other coaches so a sleep-away gym camp is out of the questions. I am actually quite glad these are our hours...this is what we do during the school year while competing compulseries---the hours almost double when you go to optionals. We also skip a couple of times to do fun things...as a parent I feel like it is necessary to make sure she experiences things outside the gym---especially before we move to optionals

Hope this was helpful!

My dd is a level 7 - she normally does 17.5 hours per week - but over the summer they do 22 . She will go Mon, Tues, Thurs from 4:30-8:30 and Wed & Fri from 9:00-2:00. I think it is a lot - but she wants to get really good (and hopes that she gets all her 8 skills so maybe can do level 8 this year - I don't see that happening, but won't tell her that).

What does your DD train in summer?

[Monkeygirlsmom]

our gym trains the same as they did during the year!

Preteam 5 hours and 4-6 levels are 9 and 7 is 10

[gymmom14]

Monkeygirlsmom--- So do they still train at night?

DD's schedule doesn't change for summer. She trains from 3:45 - 7:45 on Tues and Thurs and from 4 - 7 on Friday, a total of 11 hours a week. This schedule is the same for the level 5 team as well so I think we're good for the next year and a half.

Dd's schedule is M-F: 9-1pm. There has been talk of maybe doing 9-2pm, but as of this moment that is still a rumor.

This is no different than what she does now. During the school yr they train 20 hrs and 9-1 is still 20hrs, so we will see what happens.
