I haven't coached at that level for a few years (we do xcel instead now--bronze is approx level 1 and 2), but I remember that judging was kind of a joke. There's no qualifications needed other than being a professional member of USAG, so essentially any coach could judge. I had a judge at one meet ask me if a child's score sounded right--it was his first time judging. I posted about it at the time. The girls were level 2, we practiced 3 hours a week.
Yes, if they are practicing that much, they should be working level 2 and 3 skills. As an example, my xcel girls practiced 5 hours a week last year, ages 5-10, mostly ages 6- young 7. All first or second year competitors. Most finished the year with front hips on bars, and several with kips, bhs on floor, vertical handstands on beam, and the old 4 (new 3) vault of handstand fall flat on 32" mat or higher. And all that without sacrificing basics--the skills are not all perfect, but they're where I would expect them to be progression wise.
Ideally, the focus of practice at that level should be strength, flexibility, and shaping. The skills will come easily as the kids gain strength and understanding of how their bodies move. Scores ARE NOT IMPORTANT and time that is spent nit-picking compulsory arm movements, etc is wasted time developmentally, in my opinion.
Does the gym have a plan as they progress? How successful is their team program in progressing girls at their own ability level? How long has the gym been open? What experience do the coaches have?
