Hi Everyone,
Our DD competed IGC Copper this year and had a great season. The coaches just gave out new group recommendations and want DD to move over to USAG and start training 10 hours a week, up from the 4 hours she trains right now.
Our concern is with her being so young. I know kids can get injuries from overuse, and I especially worry about growth plate injuries. Is 10 hours too much for a child her age??
Any info is much appreciated! Our daughter loves gymnastics and seems to have some talent for the sport. We really want to support her, but also protect her.
Thanks!!
