    Are there minimum training hours at the elite level?

    I know that I may get ten different answers if I ask ten different people. I also realize that different gymnasts may require more or less and there may be advantages to both. What I’m wondering is if there is any kind of bare minimum? For any elite coaches in our midst: -Is there a set...

    how quickly/slowly can/should younger girls increase training hours??

    I don't want to start any sort of debate on how many hrs is too many (or too few for that matter). I'd just like to understand whether/how increases in hours should be introduced in order to reduce the risk of injury? I'm most interested in what the coaches think, but obviously some of the...

    How many hours of sleep does your gymnast get a night?

    My kids had their annual check ups today and their pediatrician said that elementary school aged kids should be getting 12 hours of sleep a night :eek:. Older kids should be getting at least 9 or 10, and she said that US children do not get the amount of sleep that they should and that the lack...

    Coaches Summer training Hours

    As a coach I am wondering about twice a day trainings for the summer. Do a lot of gyms do this in the off season or stick to the common four hour a day training. This is of course for optional gymnasts.

    Minimal training hours

    With talk about excessive training hours, I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on what the ideal number of hours per week or length of workout that an optional level gymnast should train. What is the least number of hours that a gymnast could train and still gain skills and also fit in enough...

    More gym hours!

    One of my major complaints about our gym has been the low # of hours, though I must say that my husband still thinks that our dd is overscheduled with the number of hours she currently has (6 hours @ level 5). But regardless, I just got a call from the HC saying that we're now going to have...

    seeking opinions on the wisdom of reducing DD's hours

    Hi. I wonder if you wise parents and coaches can help me clearly figure out the pros and cons of reducing my DD's hours for a little while so that she can try increasing her time in another sport. She'll be 6 at the end of the year so it's not like she's a star or anything. But she is in a...
