We’re winding down the season here and discussing renewing our commitment to gymnastics for another year. We have just regionals to go (and possibly nationals). DD13 has a big dilemma - she wants to do everything! She has been doing 2 hours a week of rec. climbing this year and loving it! She was invited recently to join their competitive route and would love to but it means cutting down on gymnastics hours. She is second year level 10. We discussed dropping down to diamond for the year but she won’t hear of it - wants to compete level 10. I wondering what the minimum amount of hours you think a lvl 10 could train to keep up her skills and routines, not training upgrades? Conditioning for climbing is pretty similar. She does 20 hours a week atm. She thinks of climbing as something she wants to do for a year before going back to full time gymnastics.
We haven’t discussed any of this with her gym yet so not sure what our options are… advice / personal experience necessary!
