hours

There is a group of girls at our gym who will be seeing a significant hours jump when the go back to "school schedule". (16 hours to 25 hours) The coaches are confident that the girls can handle it. With my mom hat on, I worry about sleep, school and staying healthy. With my medical hat on, I...

So a few weeks ago we got a schedule for the school year that had the level 6s working 12 hours in 4 week nights 530 to 830. Evidently I was the only one that moved things around to make it work because my kid want to be a 6, and I'm willing to make that happen. As a result, the schedule has...

We just got our DD's schedule for the fall. All summer it's been three days a week, 5 hours total, and I'm thrilled they'll be taking the full 5 hours into the fall as well. Practices will be 4-6:30. I don't know what to do with myself since we've moved from artistic. We won't be getting...

Just curious how many hours your kids train/trained for the Jo compulsory levels? I have a 5 y/o level 2 who trains 4 hrs during the school year, and increased to 6 hrs for the summer...I wasn't expecting the increase and i am on the fence about it, as it seems like a lot. ..but when I picked...

Hi, I was wondering if any Vic's out there have heard if the limited hrs stream (old state stream) will still exist in 2017? Lots of rumours going around our gym that it won't but can't help but wonder what would happen to all the LH girls who can't commit to the hrs for the unlimited...

Sorry, the search isn't working. How may hours do your level 4 practice? Interested in all but especially Region 6

Hi, Does USAG limit/regulate the amount of hours girls can train at a gym based on age/level? Or is it strictly by gym or region? I think I saw a thread a while back about this, but I wanted to see if there was any more information on this subject.

So my DD has team tryouts at the end of May (she is on Preteam now). She's been so excited about making team! A few weeks ago I asked one of the L3 moms what summer practice was like schedule wise, and she said it was the same as during the school year. Well, I definitely asked the wrong...

I have a 4 year old on level 2. I've seen several of y'all say your level 2 gymnasts practice more than 2 hrs/week. What's the norm? We just started this gym, and they have an excellent track record of sending girls to college on scholarship, so I know it's a good gym. Just curious about...

curious. Parents and coaches of upper level boys, what would be minimum safe hours for training (say double backs on floor, laid out tsuks, release moves on high and p bars, etc)? What would be optimal? Primarily for boys 12-16. At what level would you consider making a kid leave the...

Wow just typing out the title seemed like a mouth full but I definitely could use some advice. My DD is 5 years old, and is in an accelerated rec class. Not exactly a pre-team but on track for that hopefully later this year. About 3 weeks ago she was asked to start tops training part time (2...

One of our gymmies was invited to developmental camp in August. She's young, and nervous, going with coaches, not mom. We had a group go to summer camp last month, so I was able to show her pictures of the cabins, and that's helped (she doesn't like the "unknown".) What I'm wondering, so I...

My daughter started gymnastics almost a year ago with a mommy and me class,then it snowballed into moving up several times and now right after she turned three years old she started training for TOPS. They do 20 hours a week. She enjoys gymnastics a lot, has big dreams and likes going but I am...

I am considering switching my dd from artistic to T&T, but the hours are much lower. Why is this?

For those of you with daughters in the Xcel program - how many hours a week does your daughter have team practice? Also, what is your competition schedule like?

Our gym only offers our girls (level 2-6) 4 hours in the gym a week. I personally think this is absurd, they are not getting the training they need. We have to pay for privates to get more time in the gym. What are the average gym hours per week for your gyms? Thanks so much!

For those who do Xcel, how many hours and what level?

I'm just curious if there's a rough ratio of how many hours of conditioning to total hours in the gym? I assume it may differ depending on the level too.

A recent thread on high hours in WAG reminded me of something I've wondered about before. How many hours do competitive T&Ters train as opposed to WAGers? At our gym, everyone level 5 and up trains for 5 hours a week during the school year, which seems insanely low to me compared to WAG. We...

What is the maximum amount of hours a child can do at gymnastics? Are they L10 or elite? The recent posts about super high hours made me wonder. I think DDs gym maxes out at 22.5 hours/week for L10. No elite track.
