Question & AnswerHave a question...just ask. This forum is open to all members.
The "elite" level designation is (for the most part) beyond JO levels 9 and 10, so if people are talking about an elite gym they probably mean a gym with an elite program (probably does TOPs and takes girls to Hopes/Elite testing) and/or is a national training center (produced a national team member). But there's no exact standard to it, just a designation people usually use to mean the program has aspirations to produce athletes beyond the Junior Olympic level.
As gymdog state, the elite title is given to a gymnast who competes "at the olympic level" either junior or senior---it is someone who is beyond USAG level 10 gymnastics. I hope that helps!

Another thing to note: USAG has its own code of points, which is different from the rules used at international-level meets. Elites compete using the FIG rules, which are the international standard.
