Today at practice our coaches were talking about the level 8 girl on our team and her progress towards level 9 & 10. After a little bit of talk the conversation changed to a gym a little bit away and how crazy good their girls were. Then one coach said that their level 3's trained 12 hr/week, level 4 did 16 hr/week and their level 5's did 20 hours a week.
So, this got me wondering, what, in your opinion, is the most hours per compulsory level to produce top gymnasts? Our level 3&4's do 12 hours, and 5's do 16. We usually place top 3 teams in all meets. (Minus bigger meets, like states. those aren't always top placements.)
Basically, what would you say the hours would be for producing top-placing gymnasts in the compulsory levels?
PS Sorry for the kind of random topic. It just kinda came into my mind.
