I can't remember exactly what it stands for but it is a national testing program centered around training elite gymnasts. It tests strength, flexibility, and skills.

Here's the website.

Oh I get it now. Thank you Hammy. I was really confused when I read posts that referenced to the program but I checked out the site and I understand it now. Thanks a bundle!

Sure thing! It's easy to get confused in the gymnastics world--especially when you lose sight of the pros (like I did). Thanks for asking and remember--there's is no such thing as a stupid question!

The Olympic Trials aren't until June 2008, in Philadelphia. My dd and I are going since it's only about 1.5 hours away! She's very excited to see Shawn Johnson up close.
