    Parents Too many hours (gymnastics) / switch sports

    My 11 year dd complaints about the too many hours gym practice, and even she consider switch sports with less hours. Right now 25 hours / week level 6. Is it too much? And Her school has lots of homework.

    Parents How many hours for 5 year old

    How do you determine how much is too much? My daughter has been in a 1.5hr twice a week class for a few weeks and has now been invited to move up to class that meets for 3hrs twice a week. Does anyone else have a child this age doing 3hr practices? I’d like to hear how they handle it!! Thanks!

    Parents too many hours, should we do this?

    Hello! We’ve just been informed that my daughters hours are doubling starting in dec (going from 5 to 10) and I’m having a hard time agreeing to it. Not only will practices go way later (until 8 pm 2 nights per week) but one is 4 hours and that seems like way too long for my daughter to be...

    MAG How many hours is the bare minimum?

    So a few weeks ago we got a schedule for the school year that had the level 6s working 12 hours in 4 week nights 530 to 830. Evidently I was the only one that moved things around to make it work because my kid want to be a 6, and I'm willing to make that happen. As a result, the schedule has...

    Parents Too many hours at the gym for a 3 year old?

    My daughter started gymnastics almost a year ago with a mommy and me class,then it snowballed into moving up several times and now right after she turned three years old she started training for TOPS. They do 20 hours a week. She enjoys gymnastics a lot, has big dreams and likes going but I am...

    WAG How many hours of conditioning?

    I'm just curious if there's a rough ratio of how many hours of conditioning to total hours in the gym? I assume it may differ depending on the level too.

    MAG Too many hours?

    How many is too many hours for training? I am not complaining, because the option is wonderful, but my son is 8. He is bumping up to 21-24 hours per week. He is a level 6 plus future stars. I do not want him to burn out nor do I want too much strain on his body. I have, so far, let him tell me...

    Parents How Many Hours?

    Hi! This is my first post and I'm sure it's a question that's been asked and answered many times but the search function doesn't seem to work very well. I'm trying to get a sense for what is a reasonable expectation of hours in the gym/week/level. My daughter is level 4 and trains 9.5 hours/week.

    Parents Are many hours really necessary at a young age?

    Reading many posts on here about the amount of hours 4-7 year olds are doing has shicked me a little and has made me question my dd(7) hours. My dd currently only trains once a week for 2 1/2 hours , while I am not too happy with that I have realised that I wouldn't be happy with dd training...

    MAG How many hours?

    My level 4's train 8 hours per week right now. I asked their coach about next season, because he mentioned changing the schedule, and I was surprised today to hear he wants to drop their hours to 6 hours per week for their level 5 training. Seriously? That doesn't seem like enough time at all! I...

    WAG How many hours do you train per week for Xcel?

    I saw someone else posted how many hours do you train per week and what level are you but I didn't see any replies from people who are in the Xcel program. I am doing Xcel Silver and will be training only 4 hours per week. Is this enough? Can other people in Xcel please tell me how much you train?

    How many hours a week?

    I am a level 6 gymnast at a YMCA. I was wondering how long other level 6's practice. I practice 9.5 hours a week and I'm not sure if it's enough. I'm questioning this because I have heard of other level 6's practicing 15 hours a week. Also, I feel it's weird that level 4's only get 0.5 hours...

    Parents too many hours!

    My dd is working on level 5 this year and over the summer she trained 16 hours a week. It was actually an optional 12 or 16, but we chose 16 because she was not doing any other activities. Well, I was thinking the fall schedule would offer an option of 12 or 16 as well, but when we saw the...
