Hi all, I'm brand new to the forum, and my daughter is new to gymnastics.
I'm not sure if this is a question for a coach, or parent. Any input/advice is appreciated!
I actually have two questions/concerns...
1) In a matter of 4 months, my 7 year old daughter went from a Beginner in a recreational class, to being invited to Level 2 team. This seems like a crazy fast pace to me- I know absolutely nothing about gymnastics, but I know my daughter LOVES it and is constantly flipping around the house making me a nervous wreck! I'm worried she will burn out too soon at this pace. I guess my question is, will she miss out on learning basics by advancing too fast?
2) At our gym, at level 2, they practice for 12 hours a week (4 hours x 3 days). I'm curious, how many hours do other level 2 teams practice for? I think our level 3 is also 12 hours a week and then at level 4 it goes up to 16 hours. Is this the norm?
Thanks for any comments...
