Hi there, My name is Sally and my daughter is 5 years of age and is in the international side. I don't know too much about gymnastics as I am into tennis. I am joining here to try and find out about the sport gymnastics. I have a few questions that I would like to know.
My daughter is currently doing level 2a she use to do 5 hours a week, however new coaches have come in and told us that she needs to move up to 15 hours per week, as that is what is required for this level. It is a big worry for me but my daughter really wants to do it. When I spoke to the coach about her progress she said that she is doing really well and that she is very flexible, however her strength is not as good. That came to me as no surprise as I was aware of that , and most of the time you have one and really need to work on the other.
My question is since she is moving up to 15hours a week shouldn't that be enough strength training for her or should she do more at home. I am just affraid with all those hours plus doing stength at home that she will end up hating gymnastics.
