My DD is on the xcel bronze team at her gym. She started doing gymnastics at the end of last year and really has fallen in love. She does 7.25 hours total a week, and that the max that a xcel bronze may train at her gym (6 hr team practice and the optional 1.25 conditioning class). Unfortunately, her training is all between Saturday and Monday, with a huge gap in the rest of the week. She begged me to get her more hours, and we asked if she could also take some advanced teen classes on the rec side, but were told team girls cannot take rec classes. Any suggestions on how to get her more gym time? Private or semi private lessons? Find open gyms at another gym? Maybe rec classes at another gym? I also thought about asking the coach to let her train another day with the silver girls. I know there should be a difference in the levels, but bronze and silver is so similar, and they actually train together on Saturdays already. What do you all think?
Edited to add that rec girls in the higher levels can take up to 8.5 hrs total if they choose.
