    WAG Hours at young age and longevity in gymnastics

    I know there have been multiple threads previously about how many hours are too many for young gymnasts. I am not interested in re-hashing that debate, but I am interested in hearing from high school and college age gymnasts (and parents of those gymnasts) regarding your experience. I am...

    Parents Number of training days and hours per week

    Dd 13 L9 already practices 21 hrs, 6 days week. She might have the option of doing an additional short practice on Sunday, 2 hrs., mostly bars, which she would like extra help with. I am worried about an increased risk of burnout and injuries from lack of a recovery day. It strikes me as a...

    Hours and costs

    The posts in the main forum got me thinking : How much are us UK guys paying for gym hours ? Is yours a sliding scale, do you get discount for more hours ? Thanks 'Margo

    WAG New Hours

    My kids gym is going to start new hours for the girls I think starting June 1. The level that Alex is in now will increase in hours. Currently she has been doing 12 hours and it will jump to 18! I am happy and worried at the same time. Most of the kids in her level have also been in the...

    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 Amount of Hours for a 3 Year Old

    My daughter just started gymnastics at the beginning of January and she is currently in a PreGym class for children ages 3 to 4.5 years old. She is VERY high energy and has been that way since birth, and because of that we haven't tried too many uber-structured toddler classes because she would...

    MAG How many hours?

    My level 4's train 8 hours per week right now. I asked their coach about next season, because he mentioned changing the schedule, and I was surprised today to hear he wants to drop their hours to 6 hours per week for their level 5 training. Seriously? That doesn't seem like enough time at all! I...

    Parents How much is too much (hours) for 7y/o L.4

    My 7 y/o trains 10 hrs/week plus 2 more of open gym, (which she requested). This has been her new schedule for about 2 months. Last week she started saying she's tired and could I pick her up early from open gym. I thought she was getting a cold or something because she usually doesn't want to...

    WAG Levels and hours

    I've been at my current gym for about four years, competing for three, but I only do 4.5 hours a week split into two sessions. I'd tell you what level I was too, except we don't do levels. I can back and front tuck on floor, no problems with jumps/leaps. Vault: handspring, half on, half off...

    WAG Have practice hours gone up over time?

    Just wondering.... have the number of hours per week required for a child to be on team gone up over time? Like say, since the 1960's or 1970's? I did gymnastics in high school but I wasn't on a team, just for fun. It just seems like so many hours for these young kids, I can't imagine it has...

    WAG How many hours do you train per week for Xcel?

    I saw someone else posted how many hours do you train per week and what level are you but I didn't see any replies from people who are in the Xcel program. I am doing Xcel Silver and will be training only 4 hours per week. Is this enough? Can other people in Xcel please tell me how much you train?

    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.

    Parents Hours of practice at different levels?

    Brand new to these forums and so happy to have found them! My dd is 10 and aiming to compete level 6 this year. She completed level 5 last year (the first competitive level at our gym) and loved it. Anyway, some of the parents at our gym think our girls are not practicing nearly as many...

    How much training is way TOO MUCH??

    Per level. How much would you let your DD train? Or how much would be too much for you to train? In terms of hours, days, whatever.
