Appropriate ice time for 7 year old

Skating Advice

Hi everyone!

My daughter will be turning 7 in a few weeks and will have been skating for 1 year exactly.

How many hours a day or week do you guys think is too many or too little.

I want her to keep progressing but I also don't want to burn her out and ruin the sport for her.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

She currently spends about 7 hours a week on ice training and 2 hours off ice with strength and conditioning.

(2 privates, 5 high performance classes, and 2 learn to skate classes)

She has not participated in any competitions but has done two recitals. One group and one solo :)
