    Grades Training Hours

    Anyone here training for club grades (14-9) or know of them? One of the clubs I coach for is looking into entering girls into the club grade competitions (currently they only do rec comps) so I was wondering what the average weekly hours of training was for each level?

    Training during school hours

    Hi. My first ever post. DD is 7 and doing level 5 this year. Coaches have asked us if we would be willing next year for Level 4 to train during school hours one morning or afternoon a week in addition to the 5 other sessions she's does during the week. I'm quite reluctant but I was wondering if...

She's NDP level 2 and does 3.5hours per week but as our gym is shared they quite often have to miss training sessions bringing her hours down...

    My dd was just invited to a new developmental group at our gym. They will be training from 7-8:30, two mornings per week. My daughter is 6, and on level 3 team.

    Can anyone tell me roughly how many hours per week a gymnast should train? Levels 1 through to 6. My daughters gym doesn't seem to do many hours so was wondering what other gyms do. Thanks

    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...

    I'm wondering what options are out there for summer training, while DD's gym is closed for summer break. this year, she went to IGC for two weeks. She loved it, but thought the first week she wasn't placed correctly (put in a different group the second week which fit her better). I think she...

    Parents L3 summer up training *video*

    DD has been at the gym for team camp for 3 to 6 hrs per day, (alternating). I was worried it would be too much, but she really likes it. She gets to work out with the optionals and gets to try skills she would otherwise not do. She has advanced A LOT in the last month. During her team time, she...

    Parents Tops training

    If you have kids or coach kids who are going to test this summer when did you start training the skills for the test ? Our gym started about 3 months ago and now it's all tops all the time no upgrading. I would think it would be better to work through out the year on that stuff. Any thoughts?

    Coaches Back handsprings - heavy trampoline training or not?

    Hi coaches, I have a new Excel Bronze dd (been in gymnastics 4.5 months), and I'm new to the sport as a parent who never did gymnastics (sadly - would have loved to!). Understandably, all the girls are excited to learn the bhs as one of the next skills. I've noticed at our gym that the rec...

    Coaches coaches - training or overtaining - that is the question

    I am creating this thread as I do not want to hijack the nutrition thread, I also want coaches views on the subject. The subject is training long hours, which to me is over 20 hours a week as a pre-teen. We have instances on the board of pre-teens training as many as 38 hours a week on the Elite...

    Women Going to camp at a different gym than daughter is training at?

    My dd started at a gym, and went there for 3 yrs, all the way up until she got an invite to the team. Last summer, she attended their "team camp" when she was on pre-team, and it was the best part of her summer. She loved every minute, it was high energy, a lot of fun, very positive...

    Women Have to brag! Up training paying off!!!

    Most of the time sitting in the gym, as many of you know, is hours and hours of conditioning and frustration followed by that lightbulb that goes off when you least expect it. Well tonight was my daughters lightbulb moment :) During her 5 hour training she seemed to pull off a standing back tuck...
