    WAG Training hours for Level 7

    I am no a gymnast myself, although I was involved several years as a kid and my little sister is doing it. Just out of curiosity (I am studying sports science and recently started being really interested in gymnastics!) I have a question. There is a gymnast with these routines, not aiming for...

    Parents so, about USGA training hours recommendations...

    ...Our gym called a parent meeting a few weeks ago and informed everyone that there are now USGA recommendations for the number of hours that a gymnast should be training. The impetus, supposedly, was safety and insurance. It was explained that if someone gets hurt at a meet and USGA finds...

    WAG Do your daughter's summer training hours increase?

    Just wondering if your daughter's hours increase in the summer and if so, by how much? So, what is your daughter's level and school year hours vs. summer? My daughter is a level 7, training for level 8 next season. During the school year they train 19.5 hours a week and during the summer...

    Parents Training hours for a 5 (almost 6) year old?

    Hi Everyone, Our DD competed IGC Copper this year and had a great season. The coaches just gave out new group recommendations and want DD to move over to USAG and start training 10 hours a week, up from the 4 hours she trains right now. Our concern is with her being so young. I know kids can...

    Grades Training Hours

    Anyone here training for club grades (14-9) or know of them? One of the clubs I coach for is looking into entering girls into the club grade competitions (currently they only do rec comps) so I was wondering what the average weekly hours of training was for each level?

    WAG Training hours

    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...

    Parents Maximum number of training hours for young six year old?

    How many hours would you let a just turned six year old train assuming she's the most talented six year old ever. (Mine is not of course!!!) Just trying to see if adding TOPS is a good idea.

    Question for Canadians about training hours

    Specifically about CPN program training hours if you have the program at your gym. How many hours per week? Is it the same if they are Aspire or Elite? If they are 8, 9 or 10? I know there aren't many here that offer the program, but I think a few do! Thank you in advance.

    NDP 1 training hours for 6yr old

    So my daughter has been asked to increase hours for NDP for this year to 9 hours, im assuming its for NDP 1 as this is her first year competing, although she has been doing 4 hrs per week in a development class. Is 9 hours the norm for NDP 1 at 6 years old? It just seems like a lot

    just wondering...training hours/cost for L4

    I would like to get others' opinions on L4 training hours & costs. My dd competed last year as a L3 and for the fall season had been training 9hrs/wk. Now at L4 her summer training hours are 16hrs/wk with a cost of $320/month. Is this on par with other gyms? I'm not so worried about the...

    Are there minimum training hours at the elite level?

    I know that I may get ten different answers if I ask ten different people. I also realize that different gymnasts may require more or less and there may be advantages to both. What I’m wondering is if there is any kind of bare minimum? For any elite coaches in our midst: -Is there a set...

    how quickly/slowly can/should younger girls increase training hours??

    I don't want to start any sort of debate on how many hrs is too many (or too few for that matter). I'd just like to understand whether/how increases in hours should be introduced in order to reduce the risk of injury? I'm most interested in what the coaches think, but obviously some of the...

    Coaches Summer training Hours

    As a coach I am wondering about twice a day trainings for the summer. Do a lot of gyms do this in the off season or stick to the common four hour a day training. This is of course for optional gymnasts.

    Minimal training hours

    With talk about excessive training hours, I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on what the ideal number of hours per week or length of workout that an optional level gymnast should train. What is the least number of hours that a gymnast could train and still gain skills and also fit in enough...

    Coaches Training Hours

    Hi all, I am just curious and wondered how many hours your level 4 or 5 gymnasts train each week? My gymnasts are all 2001 born gymnasts (turn 8 this year) and currently train 12 hours a week, made up of 4 3 hour sessions. (they are about the equivalent of level 4/5 gymnasts) During the...
