deductions for piked Stalders
For no deduction, piked Stalder should be done with feet stretched throughout and significant hip flexion.
Ragan Smith’s, for example, should be deducted for both flexed feet and lack of hip flexion.

The simplest solution for this glaring problem is what was done by FIG MTC some years ago. Devalue piked Stalders. Or consider them the same skill as a regular Stalder.

training hours for new gymnasts
Coach Brittany posted her recommendations:
1st Year or ages 4-5
I recommend 4-6 hours per week and move to 9 hours by the end of that season or year.2nd–3rd Year or ages 6-7
A this age and/or level of experience I suggest training 9-12 hours at 3-4 days per week.3rd-4th Year or ages 7-8
I generally recommend 14-16 hours at a minimum of 4 times per week.4th-5th Year or ages 8-9.
In the 4th-5th year I would recommend 20 hours per week, training 5 days per week.
Those look a bit high for me. Especially in year one and two. We typically do 4 hours a week the year before Grade 1. Six hours a week in Grade 1.
On the other hand, I’m not worried for children of this age. They love the sport, improve rapidly and have relatively few injuries. This is the “easy and fun” stage of the sport.
