WAG Do your daughter's summer training hours increase?

[mariposa]

Just wondering if your daughter's hours increase in the summer and if so, by how much? So, what is your daughter's level and school year hours vs. summer?

My daughter is a level 7, training for level 8 next season. During the school year they train 19.5 hours a week and during the summer they do 24 hours a week. All our optionals level 7-10 do the same.

 

[MaryA]

Yes, almost the same as yours. 19 during the school year, 25 during the summer (levels 7-10).

 

[Committed]

Nope. Not even the hours will change ..... but this is for L4

 

[Seeker]

Total hours are the same (22.5), but time is different. 8am start in the summer!

 

[GYM0M]

22.5 during school, bumps to 27 over summer

 

[htimcj]

No change here for summer other than we start at 9:00! She goes 16 hours and just finished level 7.

 

[cbifoja]

Not sure. Don't have a summer schedule yet. :-(

 

[Quadqueen]

Total number of hours stay the same, but practice moves to daytime in summer.

23.5 with 1 hr of ballet during the year. 26 with 1 hr ballet in the summer. Competed Level 8 and trying for 9 next year. Oh, and lucky us get to bring her to the gym at 6:30am. Ick.

 

[JBS]

16 right now to 20 in the summer.

 

[Fliptwisttumble]

No change. 25 hours all year long. Training L9.

I would cry. Like really big crocodile tears, if we had summer practice at that time.

{I am only slightly exaggerating...}

 

[Amusibus]

^^^me too! that's just wrong.

 

[Azgymmiemom]

I know. Sigh. I went round and round with her coach (he's my boss, too) but this is the best way for her to capitalize on being with him. Sigh. Just dream about me and send me feeling sorry vibes this summer. It's for two months. That's my mantra. I can do anything for two months, lol. And it really is hot as death here in the summer, so earlier is better for her. Our gym just gets portable air conditioning units. If we had real ac, our tuition would be in the thousands per month!!
I mostly feel sorry for brother. We live so far away, he will have to go at 6:30, too. Even though his group doesn't start until 8:30. There's a couch in the lobby. I think he will become well acquainted with it!!!

 

[mariposa]

I'm pretty sure my kid would quit if she had to start at 6:30am. She loves gym, but not sure she loves it that much, lol.

 

[gymmomtoo]

20 to 22.5 when she was on club. Now in HS and does once a week currently. Will go three times a week during summer (3 hrs to 9 hrs)

 

[LizzieLac]

6/7: 13 to 16
8-10: 17 to 21

Not sure about the rest.

 

[gracyomalley]

20 school year, 20 summer, no more offered for anyone. Does switch from pm to am (blessedly starts at 9 - boys start at 830 across town, though...). She's Level 8 (training but will compete it for sure....so however you count that?)

 

[dchawkfan]

Yes...15 during school year, 20 during summer.

We are in the Uk so its Very different here. Firstly summer holidays are only 6 weeks long. Gym hours don't change at all ( she is approx US level 6 and is 10) but the gym offers additional daytime sessions for those who wants them. She usually ends up doing 1 or 2 extra a week.
