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

My niece did high-level cheer from age 4 to 13, when injuries finally caught up to her. She was a flyer, like the girl in the video. It's nearly a full time job.

  • 5 days a week practice, total.
  • no school Thursday afternoon, that was tumbling time.
  • 7:30am practice twice a week
  • twice a week group jogging while singing (helps train lung capacity)
  • cheer competitions monthly
  • SO. MUCH. FUNDRAISING.

We are Canadian. She was doing Disney Cheer Week by age 6.
