    Parents experienced moms, # hours when daughter was young (age 6)

    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...

    USAIGC practice hours?

    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.

    Question for Canadians about training hours

    Specifically about CPN program training hours if you have the program at your gym. How many hours per week? Is it the same if they are Aspire or Elite? If they are 8, 9 or 10? I know there aren't many here that offer the program, but I think a few do! Thank you in advance.

    How much to expect with increased hours

    My DD will be going from 2 hours twice a week to 3 hours 4days a week for the summer. At the end of the summer the coach will determine if she should move up to L4 team and continue the 12 hours, or over to the AAU side which would drop back to 4 hours. She was told she will have to work very...

    How many hours a week?

    I am a level 6 gymnast at a YMCA. I was wondering how long other level 6's practice. I practice 9.5 hours a week and I'm not sure if it's enough. I'm questioning this because I have heard of other level 6's practicing 15 hours a week. Also, I feel it's weird that level 4's only get 0.5 hours...

    Summer hours?

    Just curious how many hours your kiddos do in the gym on a weekly basis over the summer? This will be DD's first summer in a private gym program... At the Y, summer hours were the same as the rest of the year. Also she's moving from compulsories to optionals, so another big jump in hours from...

    NDP 1 training hours for 6yr old

    So my daughter has been asked to increase hours for NDP for this year to 9 hours, im assuming its for NDP 1 as this is her first year competing, although she has been doing 4 hrs per week in a development class. Is 9 hours the norm for NDP 1 at 6 years old? It just seems like a lot

It's been almost 6 mo that dd's been trained in artistic gymnastics and per YouTube videos dd's a level 3 (although I saw no difference in vault between level 3 and 4 and her bar might be an almost level 3, she can't put her feet together on the bar with hands...

    Parents Is this enough hours for level 6?

    We are looking at doing 3.5 hours 3x/week for a new level 6 USAG program. Is this enough hours to do well? My DD did very well in level 5, won a few meets, but was going 4 days at 3.5 or 4 hours each day. Too much time, so we are scaling back. How many hours do some of the other level 6 kids...

    MAG Hours per week

    I saw this on another thread, but it was mostly the women's side responding. I was wondering about the boys! I know that the boys' side is way different. So, about how many hours a week does your ds spend at gym? D is a level 5, and he is there about 10-13 hours a week. That will change with...

    Hours & Training: Quality or Quantity? Which is better? Or is it a good mix of Both?

    I have taken Bog's suggestion and started a new thread :). There has been some discussion on schedules and how many hours gymnasts train and there has been a wide variety in the amount of hours. I am guessing that there is no set magic number of how many training hours is "best" because each...

    Parents too many hours!

    My dd is working on level 5 this year and over the summer she trained 16 hours a week. It was actually an optional 12 or 16, but we chose 16 because she was not doing any other activities. Well, I was thinking the fall schedule would offer an option of 12 or 16 as well, but when we saw the...

    Parents Hours in the gym...

    I know there are a jillion posts about how many hours at what level, etc. This is a slightly different question. My daughter is on a Y team that competes USAG (not on a Y league) and my biggest complaint has always been that she is practicing about half the number of hours as the girls she...
