    Parents too many hours, should we do this?

    Hello! We’ve just been informed that my daughters hours are doubling starting in dec (going from 5 to 10) and I’m having a hard time agreeing to it. Not only will practices go way later (until 8 pm 2 nights per week) but one is 4 hours and that seems like way too long for my daughter to be...

    WAG Training hours per age

    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...

    WAG Summer Hours?

    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...

    Parents Drop in hours?

    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...

    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.
