How often should bronze xcel train on bars when group trains 6 hours a week?

 

[Coach Kate]

I coached Xcel silver 5 hours a week, 2x2.5 hours. We did a half hour of bars each night and 15 minutes of bar conditioning each night. If you count bar conditioning, that makes 1.5 hours of bars per week.

So am I right to be concerned if bronze group is only doing bars once every 2 weeks with competition season coming up that they are not set up for success?

I would be concerned about that, yes.

I would if there's s a competitive goal set for that group in the future. Not about this season but further on, bars is an event that usually requires the most time to develop skills.

 

[Flamewinds]

I’d be concerned too, especially with competition season coming up.

We do bars 50 minutes a week for a 6hr/week training program. I personally would prefer more time, but we don’t have space in our facility. Still, 50 minutes a week is enough for our Bronze team to be competitive in our area.
