curious.
Parents and coaches of upper level boys, what would be minimum safe hours for training (say double backs on floor, laid out tsuks, release moves on high and p bars, etc)?
What would be optimal? Primarily for boys 12-16. At what level would you consider making a kid leave the sport for safety reasons?
Gym has cut back to maximum 14 hours, and some kids have scheduling conflicts with some of the offered hours that can't be changed at this late date in school year. Some 8-10s can only attend max 11 hours a week. Coaching is inexperienced but trying hard. No other boys programs within 150 miles.
Not blaming the gym. Sure they are doing their best. Kids are not expected to do college gym but are solid gymnasts, with state and regional placements. The kids want to do the 20 hours a week the girls get, with the exception of one level 10.
