How many hrs do your Xcel silver, bronze and gold train?
 
Currently we have Bronze and Gold only, Bronze comes 7.5 hours/week, Gold comes 13 hours/week.
We will have some changes next year that are TBD, but I am leaning towards it being more like 6 hours/week for Bronze (a younger group of kids coming up), 7.5 hours/week for Silver (maybe with a Saturday option taking them up to 10), and 13 hours/week for Gold and up.
 
Our Xcels are on the low side.
Bronze 2.5-7.5 hours, they can come 1, 2, or 3 times a week.
Silver and gold 6-12 hours.
No higher levels right now.
 
My one Bronze girl and three of my four Silvers (Group B) train 10 hours a week. The other Silver, as well as all the Golds (Group A) train 14 hours a week. I have them broken up into two different training groups based on work ethic, age, and skill level. Group B has two practices a week at four hours each. Group A has three practices a week at four hours each. The whole team comes in on Sunday for a two hour floor routine/dance practice.
 
We only have Gold ... but have had Platinums before. They all practice 7.5 hours a week (3 days @ 2.5 hours a day).
 
Bronze - 5 hours, plus optional 3 hour practice
Silver - 5-6 hours, plus optional 3 hour practice
Gold - 6 hours, plus optional 3-3.25 hour practice
