Training Duration
The Competitive Programs run on 10 - 12 month training schedules. Once selected into the program, each athlete is placed into a group based on factors that include age, ability, and skill level. Every gymnast is carefully placed in a group where, in the opinion of the coaches, they will be challenged without feeling overwhelmed and will best progress to attain success. Gymnasts in these programs train in between 3 and 30 hours/week.
As gymnasts progress in their development, training hours may also increase to allow for further physical and skill development while decreasing the risk of injury. The more advanced skills require body conditioning and physical preparation. As such, an 8 year old gymnast may train up to 16+ hours/week and an elite level accomplished gymnast (12+ years) may train up to 30 hours/week.
A note about elite level training: Out of 1000 Recreational participants, less than 5 will progress to the Elite level. Only a few kids have the physical, emotional, and psychological characteristics (focus, determination, competitive spirit, hard work ethic, patience, etc.) that are required for elite gymnastics. At Revolution, it is the coaches role to assist each gymnast in reaching her maximum potential with the realization that each gymnast is ultimately responsible for hew own progress, and ultimately, her own success.
