Hi all, as you can see, I'm new here. However I am coming out of lurkdom now. My DD, who just turned 7, is a training lvl 4/5/7. The plan is for her to compete 4, score out of 5, and compete 7, if she isn't ready for 7 she will compete 7 next year. My guess would be that she will be competing lvl 7 next year, just because of floor and vault. Yesterday HC approached me and said that she thinks she should practice with the optionals for one day in the summer. This would mean her hours going up from 12 to 16 hours a week. I don't know if this would be too many hours because she is quite young. I might ask the coach is she can practice with the optionals during a day that she would already be there, but I don't want to interfere with the coach's plans.
How many hours do you think would be appropriate for a 7 year old? I certainly don't want to burn her out.
