Hi All,
My daughter got moved up from preteam level 2, to training level 3. We moved to region 1. The new hours are 6. Which I think is perfect. In just 2 months when they start learning level 3 routine, it moves to 9 hours a week. Personally, I think this is too much. She will just be turning 7 this March. Of course, I will not express my opinion to her because I don't want to undermine the process or opportunity. I do think this introduces burnout and injuries. These girls train hard btw!! Lots of conditioning. After her 2 hour workout, she is worn out. There is no waiting around with this coach. It's a tight ship! With too much homework already in 1st grade, I'm just a concerned mom. It actually saddens me a little the workload on kids these days.....
We are in a VERY competitive area so I think these new up'd hours are to compete with some gyms that are big recruiting gyms. But I feel this is a 10 year journey possibly and there is a lot that can happen. Too many hours too young equals quitting....Thoughts? What are your hours at this level? Thank you
