I've been talking to my coach, and we decided to add a bronze team this year. We've haven't had a bronze team before simply because we haven't had enough coaches, but my coach/HC said if I wanted to I could start one. It would be for only this upcoming season, as Im planning on going to college after. The plan would be for the bronze girls to then move to either silver or to train with the pre team if they weren't ready.
All this to ask, what are you thoughts/tips for coaching bronze? I've only coached rec before so any help would be appreciated. I'll ask my HC these, but how do you all structure your practices? I would have two hour practices 2x a week. During practice what are you focusing on most? Routines, drills, skills, all that stuff. What are some extra things that make your gymnasts feel motivated? At this level how much emphasis do you put on scores? Seriously anything would be helpful! Thank you!
 
You can't really focus on routines until you know what skills they have.
After warming up, focus on basics, drills for skills, and strength/conditioning.

See what skills they have and work drills/progressions for the "next" skill. You could have side stations for independent drills or strength/conditioning at each event.

Would their floor routines be completely individualized (individual choreography, skills, and music), differentiated (same music or choice of 1-3 musics, but allow acro choices and dance choices based on each gymnast's strengths), or cookie-cutter (everyone does the same exact routine to the same music). That would affect when you start working on routines.
