I would say at least 10 hours a week to be successful at level 5. 14-16 would be better.

ur from melbourne so..... the max you can do in state 5 is 10hours a week. For national level 5 you can do more hours, but it means ur against talented national stream kids. so the answer is, at level 5, u can do only 10hours maximum.

My DD does L4 and goes about (3 days) 10 hrs week. Our L5's go more, 3 nights a week & Sat for about 15 hrs. I suppose every gym has different schedules depending on how competative they are. Our L5's are new, just moved up from L4 (we did not have a L5 team before that for a few years) so they are working on learning the routines to be able to compete ASAP.

Sounds like you've been bit by the gymnastics bug, LOL. My DD loves being in the gym & might complain if she were only there 6 hours. Maybe you will get the additional hours when you move up?

Our level 5-7 go 9 hours a week with the option of going 10.5 hours. I would like to see them going more but we just don't have the room & so many of the girls are in other sports that I don't think they would make it to any more practices

To clarify for everybody: bob's in Australia. The level system there is a bit different from the USAG system.

I would say about 12-16 hours would be perfect, but I'm not sure exactly how your system works, so I can't say for sure. Also, as someone else said--every gym and program is different.
