I coach out of a very small gym in a small town. Our JO 2/3 team only has 3.25-6 hours of class each week. The girls range from 7-13. Up until now, we have been giving the gymnasts conditioning homework to complete on a weekly basis. This usually consists of a 10-15 minute workout that must be completed twice at their own leisure. It focuses on strengthening the muscles needed to master skills they are working on.
Most of the girls seem eager to do it, and I try to make it fun for them. However, I am wondering when it is too much? I don't want them to lose interest, or to take over their personal lives.
