My dd is a 10 Yr old finishing up lvl 8 and training for lvl 9 and Hopes.
Her gym just posted a notice that no gymnasts will be allowed to train more than 16 hours per week.
Is there any research out there supporting a limit like this? I just can’t see how an athlete can acquire the more difficult skills training no more than 16 hours per week.
Am I “old school” and out of touch? What is an appropriate amount of training for a 10 Yr old with Hopes/ Jr. Elite aspirations?
