hours

Hi! I’m new to this forum. My daughter is a new level 4 gymnast, she will be 9 in November. Her gym is small and her coach believes less is more with hours spent training. She was moved to the level 8 training team a few months ago. She spends 12 hours training one week and 6 the next..averaging...

what are typical xcel bronze training hours. We opted for xcel due to reduced hours and dds other varied interests. The new schedule has her group training two 3hr sessions, side by side with xcel silver. Also they train until 8:30pm and her bedtime is 8 (she just turned 8 and will be in third...

How many hours a week are you training in the summer? As a level 7 gymnast is 22 hours a week on par with other gyms?

Hi, my daughter is movIng up to level 4 this year (she did 2 years as a level 3) and I’m wondering what the average amount of hours a 4 spends at the gym weekly? When we were on 3, she started out with 9 hours and then last season we bumped it up to 11. Her coach is pushing for all her 4’s to...

I’m hoping to get feedback from coaches and other parents regarding opinions on appropriate training hours per age. Our dd has been asked to move up a training level but I think the hours are unreasonable for her age. She is 6 and the level they would like her to train at trains 12.75 per week...

I have posted about my 5 year old before when we were having gym difficulties. They have not really gone away, but we are learning to work with what we have. I am pretty excited for her because she is training with the Level 3s now (she can't compete until next year) 4 hours a week and 1 private...

Question for those whose girls are on a Gymnastics team: our team recently changed the hours in the gym to M,W,F 4pm-8pm with no notice to the parents. Do you think this is a normal or good schedule? Do you have any issues with school and kids being tired ? Its a nice schedule for those who like...

I received an email this week with a change in hours... Just in case you didn't get it here are the new times (they have changed to what your tickets say) https://mtl2017gymcan.com/en/the-championships/program/ And our list of athletes selected for the last camp...

How many hours a week do your daughters practice? My 8 year old level 4 practices for 15 hours per week and my 11 year old level 8 practices for 23 hours per week. In the summer it's 20 hours and then 26 hours. Let me know I'm just curious...

Hi all, as you can see, I'm new here. However I am coming out of lurkdom now. My DD, who just turned 7, is a training lvl 4/5/7. The plan is for her to compete 4, score out of 5, and compete 7, if she isn't ready for 7 she will compete 7 next year. My guess would be that she will be...

We are considering a switch to x cel from JO which would mean a drop from 12 hours to 6 hours for DD. She does not want to drop in hours but, long story short we feel it's best to get her out of her current gym and x cel at another gym seems to be the best option for her and for our family. I...

DD is turning 8 in September and competing L4. She was fast tracked and trains with girls doing L6/7 since we have a small gym. For summer she has some flexibility and I am looking for guidance on a good number of hours that would help her improve but not burn out or get injured. Other L4s are...

Today at practice our coaches were talking about the level 8 girl on our team and her progress towards level 9 & 10. After a little bit of talk the conversation changed to a gym a little bit away and how crazy good their girls were. Then one coach said that their level 3's trained 12 hr/week...

My son, weslan will soon be 5 and has been doing some form of gym since 3. We switched him to a gym instead of rec about 6 months ago. He is technically on pre team but since he's young he only goes once a week. He has expressed interest in competing for a while now and I do know you have to be...

my daughter has just started Year 7. She is currently in level 5 and they train 17hrs a week. We are trying to work out juggling homework assignments etc. she doesn't want to quit gym she loves it but is worried on how she will juggle it all. Any tips please?

Hi All, My daughter got moved up from preteam level 2, to training level 3. We moved to region 1. The new hours are 6. Which I think is perfect. In just 2 months when they start learning level 3 routine, it moves to 9 hours a week. Personally, I think this is too much. She will just be turning...

So just curious as to how many hours elite level gymnasts (jr and senior elite, Developmental Team athletes, etc) are training per week

Good Morning everyone! I am asking this question out of curiosity and just seeing how other gyms operate. How many hours and days of week do your children spend in the gym? I am most curious about optionals training. My daughters hours changed this summer to 20 hours a week/ 4days / 5hrs a...

and not homeschool? curious how that works with the public school system and how you approached the schools with working it out. our coach said he knows some families (not at our gym) that make it work but need more info before going into the school and starting with the principal who isn't...

This is more of a general question. I think dd is stressed from the number of hours in the gym. Her hours increased significantly this summer and everything was fine when there was no school. The hours are the same during the school year, but now that school has started, I think it might be...
