hours

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...

After browsing around CB these past few days it seems like hours for an optional workout vary around the country. I'm just curious how it compares to our crazy schedule Monday- Wednesday 5-9ish often till 9:30 Thursdays 4-8ish often 8:30 Fridays 8am-1:30 Weekends off

I was wondering how long the pre-teams at your gym train per week. My gym does 6-7 hours and I feel like that's a lot for pre-team....

I'm wondering how many hours of gym do other children do. My 7 year old dd currently trains 5 days a week (14 hours) and she will be competing uk regional level 5 next year

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

Just wondering...:jump:

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

Just wondering because i am going to be a Level 9 and train about 20 hours a week, what are you doing? Just curious to see if i am on the low end of training or what, seeing if i should train more! Thanks!:o

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.

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...

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.

I would love to hear from moms with kiddos in upper levels who were doing level 4 or level 5 at early ages and stuck with the sport. How many hours did your kid practice at age 6-7? I guess the point I am getting at is how many kids practiced what I would consider a lot (9 hours or so) and...

Does anyone know how many hours USAIGC bronze level gymnasts train each week? My dd is currently training level 5 USAG and the time commitment is definitely a challenge for our family. USAIGC seems like it may be a better fit.
