DD went from new 3 to 7 in a year.

At new 3 she did 12 hours and then 14 hours when she did 6/7. When she started competing 7 she bumped up to 19 hours sort of. 5 of those hours were a Saturday practice they never had due to meets so really it was still just 14.
 
pre-team age 5-6 - 3 hours a week
age 7 trained old 5 - 8 hours aweek
age 8 competed old 5 - 12 hours a week
age 9 competed old 5 then 3 meets old 6 - up to 16 hours/week
age 10 level 7 - 16 hours
age 11 repeat level 7 and now L8 - 16-20 hours now

No TOPS available, no higher hours available (not nec a problem...), repeated 7 by gymnast choice this year....no one "scores out" at her gym - but generally kids would only do one year at old 6 (or less like DD). Old 5/new 4 is the first level competed, so often repeated.

I'm sure you can see how much this varies - and there are also successful gymnasts who repeat many times (DD has moved "fast" for her gym...)
 
My DD did 10 a week as a level 4, 14 hours a week as a level 5, 14-18 hours a week as a 6/7 and now does 19.5 hours as a repeat 7, currently training for level 8.
 
Age 7-started gymnastics
Age 8- old level 4
Age 9 old 5
Age 10- old 6
Age 11 skip 7
Age 11 level 8
Age 11- training level 9
Can't believe she started gymnastics in 2010, and is training level 9 four years later- crazy!
 
simple question...

how long did it take you/your child to from (new) Level4 to (new) Level7?
3 seasons (old lvl 4, lvl 5, lvl 6--with second 1/2 of level 5 to first 1/2 of level 6 off for an injury), but then she only did one lvl 7 meet, scored out and went to 8. So I guess 2 full seasons.
 
Age 5 (old level 3 at 7 - 9 hours per week)
Age 6 (old level 4 at 12 hours per week)
Age 7 (old level 4 and old level 5 at 12 - 16 hours per week)
Age 8 (1 meet of new level 5 and spring 2014 at level 7 at 16 hours per week)
Summer 2014 (will turn 9...training level 8...20 hours)

8 or 9 months.

EDIT: Adding hours above

4 months.

DD competed at State in December and just moved to 7 this week. Having said that, she has been training 7 since October. As such, she's got almost all her 7 skills, with the exception of giants on bars.

She trains 20 hours/week.
