WAG Amount of Practice Time

[JBS]

Here you go...we are currently on the low end in our upper levels. The higher hours are there in case we need to use them for certain teams or individuals...or for the summer. We like all of our JO gymnasts on 4 day/week schedules as soon as possible (before L5). We do not require a 5 day/week schedule until the gymnast is at least 10 years old and a L7 or above.

Xcel: 5-8 hours/week (2-3 days/week)
L3: 4-8 hours/week (2-3 days/week)
L4: 7-12 hours/week (3-4 days/week)
L5/6: 12-16 hours/week (4 days/week)
L7/8: 16-24 hours/week (4-5 days/week)
L9/10: 18-26 hours/week (5 days/week)

L4 practice 9.5 hours per week in the school year, and 15 hours a week in the summer.
L5 and L6 practice between 9.5 and 16 hours per week during the school year (you have the choice of 3 or 4 days per week), and 15-25 hours per week in the summer (can go 3,4,or 5 days per week.)

Not sure what the optionals do, as my girls are still in the compulsory levels.
