Wow! Very strong opinions about this being wrong. I thought at least one person would be on the other side. I'm not sure how to feel. Does the fact that the girls are 15-17 in age, change anything?

Let's say there's a gymnast. She has a healthy weight and has always had a healthy weight. She is not tiny and skinny like some, but she isn't overweight. Her coach says she noticed they are gaining weight. She also points out a few who she noticed gained some weight. We're talking a girl who...

Some of you might remember that about 8ish months ago I posted a thred about a possible move to Canada and how gymnastics would differ. http://www.chalkbucket.com/forums/womens-artistic-gymnastics-wag/38357-how-gymnastics-canada.html My husband was given a year to consider and accept the job...

What would you say is a good number of routines a week or day? Are you for high number of routines? Routines everyday? Or more for less but still some routines?

Thanks everyone! I'm glad everything worked out for the gym and the girls but I'm scared for the girls at the other gym to! Hopefully the coach changes...

Some of you might now that we had been having some struggles with my level 10 dd and her coach... Well more troubles and more problems kept happening, It was making me explode! Ill give a few details of the worst but I don't want to get too into it. dd and a teammate were "expelled" from the...

I didn't read everything. But here's my opinion... Every level "weeds out" gymnasts. There are less and less as the levels get higher. It's crazy how many rec kids there are compared to level 10s.

iwannacoach I was joking about the old comment... My dd doesn't want to leave. She said she would consider it we were to move to another city with a great gym but since I cannot do that at the moment... The gym does great at meets, has a fantastic program and isn't too big so the girls get good...

Yes this wasn't my dd, it was a teammate. All these responses have gotten me really thinking but even though many of you think I need to take my dd from the gym, what about when she herself doesn't want to? Sorry for dumb question, but would the head coach be the owner who is also a coach...

Most kids aren't homeschooled... Gymnasts or not. Coach says dd is very fortunate to have the opportunity to train as much as she does... Don't know what to make of that...

My dd considered going to public school to get the experience but decided that it's not an option as there are no level 10s in other non homeschool groups.

My dd is homechooled but not for gymnastics, it is a factor but school at home works best for her. The gym has no level 10s that aren't homeschooled. They all are. @Skschlag.

I'm not making the gym look good am I? lol...

Ok so normal right? It used to be 35 hours but they cut back.

I know i've been posting a lot lately but I have one more thing to ask. With my other posts I have had many people tell me that it seems like dd practices too much and comments on burnout. What would be the average amount of hours a level 10 would train? I'm sorry if it's a bad question but dd...
