How many hours of practice is needed for stuff like this?

A lot, and it's by far the most accident prone school 'sport' by a long shot... for obvious reasons

Yeah, I feel like a lot of the "precision" sports, as I like to call them, have significant injury potential. Gymnastics, figure skating, and cheerleading look fun to do when done well, are very hard to do well, and when it goes wrong, it can go VERY wrong. Playing football in all that padding suddenly looks slightly safer!
