I'm hoping NOT to become totally neurotic about this....
I competed as a kid and would LOVE to see my girls (at least one of them!) become a competetor. The girls, ages 3 and 5 are just starting at a gym here, but they love it and want to go more often than once per week (no prob with this mom!) So, the gym we are starting at says no prob with the five-year-old going twice a week, but apparently the teacher for the 3 y/o says no more than once per week!
The gym is not very competition oriented (I don't think) and there's only one other gym here which is at the Y, but by looking at the website I don't think they gear much towards competing either.
I think the question stands at, would it benefit my 3y/o to take her to a place that's about a 40 minute drive away so that we can go to a better gym?? Is there a growth/development aspect involved that the coach may have in mind when she limits practice to once per week? I've tried to research this online, but didn't come up with much help.
Thanks!
