My 7 y.o. is L2 (gym has it as L3 training team, so they will be L3 next year). Right now they are training 6 hours a week and will move up to 9 hours/week in a couple months.
Right now we're not happy with the quality of coaching- the head coach is not able to lift the girls, so her husband (not sure how much experience he has) helps out and is actually training their group more than she is. There are two groups- DD is in the lower group and seems to get very little attention. Most of the attention is to those who need more help. There is also a lot of sitting/standing around while waiting. Because of this, we don't see much progress.
We were really happy with her pre-team coach, and she showed a lot of progress last year. Communication was great, and she would update us on what DD needed to work on or what she was doing well. The current coach goes into a side office after practice and we don't see her. We have the option of requesting a meeting at the front desk with her if needed.
We live in the Minneapolis area, but both DH and I work from home, so honestly, we could move if needed to a better gym. Is it worth it to talk to the coach, or should we look at other options? We're also not sure if the training is too much or satisfactory for this age group/level. Thank you!
