[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I let my kids do it , they had already been on pre team which was 6 hours a week and they already loved their friends and coaches. It was 4 hr practices 3 times per week for gymnastics. 12 hours plus the meets. They were in 1st and 3rd at the time. After 3(2 for my younger girl) competitive seasons they both decided to move on and I was glad. It definitely sucked up a lot of their time and mine because they required volunteer hours as well. They did love it for the time they did it though, and sometimes miss it ,but it was also stressful as well the more they moved up in levels and that’s why they ultimately decided to move on. [/quote] Yep, this is typical. Most kids make it a few levels, then either decide they're done, or high school activities seem more fun, or fear kicks in. I'd let a 9 year old give it a shot!
