[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8 year old loves gymnastics and is great at it. He has an opportunity to join the boys team. It's 3 hours of practice, 4 days a week - all year. The moms that do it say the kids love it, yes, a lot of time but worth it. I just don't know. That's a lot of time. Forget doing any other sport. Homework during the school year will be rushed along with dinner... But he loves gymnastics.

My daughter is in competitive gymnastics, age 6. She trains 9 hrs a week and doesn't want to do any other sports. As long as she loves it and we can afford it we will support her.
For those saying it's too much time, just let them be a kid there are 168 hours in a week. There's lots of time. We still manage homework, playdates, school, free play, bike rides, swim, etc... . Even when my daughter isn't training, she's training in my living room doing about 250 handstands and walkovers a day till we force her to sit down. Some kids just have the energy to burn.[/quote]
