[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here...I guess what I'm asking is whether you just say no to travel sports/competition sports in early elementary? I don't want him to have to "choose" something now when he wants to do a lot of stuff and he really has no idea what the future holds. Did you just say no to competitive teams in elementary and middle school? If he does 12 hrs of gymnastics a week he won't be able to do anything else.[/quote] I let my kids do more competitive programs in middle school, but in elementary we only did rec. We did do summer swim which is a lot of hours. The general advice is to no let your kid play an organized sport more hours than they are years old. Which would mean no 12 hours of gymnastics. But while my kids have picked up sports in middle school and excelled, I think gymnastics might be an exception. [/quote]
