Hi. I am totally new here and pretty new to gymnastics. My daughter has been doing gymnastics since she was 3. She is now 4.5, and after 2 months in level 1 (1 hour 2x a week), the coach has says dd is ready to move up to level 2. That's 2 hours 2x a week. Is that a lot for a 4yo or is that pretty normal? I am surprised because she spent months in the kindergym class spacing out and wandering off because she was getting bored, and when I finally got them to move her up to level 1, the new coach said she would move up quickly. She has done really well in the level one class, follows directions and works really hard, even though she jumps around (in place) a lot. I'm wondering how she would do for 2 hours. She's also very, very tight and inflexible. I worry about her getting frustrated in class. But whereas flexibility is her weakness, strength is her...um...strength
I asked her how she felt about longer time in the gym. She was ecstatic! She takes a lot of pride in her physical strength and abilities. I am really proud of her, but concerned too about the demand on her time and her growing body. Any insights? BTW, she is not in school yet and will likely start half-day kindy in August. Thanks, and glad to have found these boards!
