stats for gymnasts per level

[gymgal]

found these interesting stats on the number of gymnasts at each level.

I'm amazing the decrease from level 5 to level 6. Almost half! The stats for L10 and elite are interesting as well, especially considering the college scholarships available, which I believe are about 750.

Just keep in mind that those statistics are from 2009, but there's no reason to believe that the percentages have changed!

I'd like to make a couple of observations here. As to the drop from L5 to L6, don't forget how many 5's test out of 6 and and go to L7 or prep-op instead. This would be a contributing factor the huge difference in numbers. As to the scholarships, don't forget that a scholarship would usually be for 4 years, so of that 750, on average, only approximately 200 would be available in any given year.

But since the L6's have to score out of a meet... I would assume it would have to be a sanctioned meet? And therefore they'd at least be "on the roll" as a L6?

Interesting observation!
