Our gym does lower hours and plenty of conditioning.What is usually done differently in higher vs. lower hours gyms? DD is in a high hours gym and they do a lot of conditioning. Do gyms with lower hours generally focus more on skill progression and less on conditioning?
It always disheartens me to see some of these times in the gym for small kids. NCAA caps at 20 hours a week.
Just sayin'
And they are adult college athletes not children.The cap is for official training hours, my understanding is that teams have additional "optional" workouts in addition to those 20 hours....

I'm not sure what your point is? All I'm saying is that the cap is a bit of a joke seeing as most teams go beyond the 20 hours by having "optional" workouts.And they are adult college athletes not children.
No actually I wasn't sure what your point is.I'm not sure what your point is? All I'm saying is that the cap is a bit of a joke seeing as most teams go beyond the 20 hours by having "optional" workouts.
I didn't think you were.I definitely don't mean to put down a lower hours gym, or suggest one is better than the other- I'm sure it depends a lot on the kid and the philosophy of the gym. But I do wonder what the major differences are in how they train in a high hours program vs a lower hours program. If you can cover the same skills and achieve the same level of conditioning why such a wide variety in hours? Maybe some gyms are much more efficient? Just wondering.

Someone commented about it being disheartening for children to spend so many hours in the gym and pointed out a cap on hours. To add they end up doing more in college, by making things "optional" really doesn't matter.

I wouldn't expect kids kids doing Pop Warner Football to be working out as long and as hard as Michigan State, Notre Dame, Alabama etc.....
Whats not to understand, children athletes shouldn't be working out/practicing more then their adult counterparts.
