In terms of increasing or decreasing the above hours, these should be agreed and discussed with the Individual coach and Neale Proud (Head of Mini-Aces section.) In general, monitor their enjoyment levels. As long as the child is enjoying it and not getting overtired, then they are doing the right amount. We would advise that the child has one free day per week of all activity to recover from the routine.
