Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at the wikipedia summary you linked and, yes, some girls train way too much and some parents are just flat out crazy (course that goes for parents of kids in any sport these days). My wife and I have no delusions of grandeur for our daughter. She enjoys it and it's made her strong, powerful, agile, coordinated, and well conditioned. So as long as she can handle her school work and practices and still is having fun, we're ok with it. We've told our daughter that as soon as it's no longer fun, that she can switch to any other sport she'd like to try. And we shopped around gyms to find one with practice hours that weren't ridiculous and methods that aren't detrimental to her long term health. So far, so good....
