We have a little problem here and I hope to get your opinions!
Older DD, 12, Level 6, but actually has most of her L7 skills, was training 18 hours in summer and is now expected to do 15.
I love our gym a lot, but it is pretty small. We have not enough coaches, so the L6 and L7 girls are going to train together this year.
So they introduced a new system today in order to handle the many kids better.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday DD is going to have skill training for for 2 1/2 hours. They warm-up for 40 minutes with some light conditioning and stretching and then go over to skill training, like their tumbling passes, bar skills like giants/free hips/stalders, vault and beam.
On Tuesday and Wednesday and on Saturday Morning (Saturday is optional) she is going to have Basic training.
We got a list what the kids are doing during this basic training.

Some mom's have awfully complained about this. They are afraid that the kids won't make any progress.
Some even said it is nonsense to do all those standing back handsprings and tucks.
The coach told us that they have 8 hours to work just on their harder skills like the tumbling passes, bar skills like giants/free hips/stalders and their vaults and it is good to have a day or two just on basics because in the end it will help the kids.
I don't know what I should think about it and I am curious to hear your opinion!
