I agree with you CoachTodd..I don't really see where this is going and how this will be beneficial to this child....there are a few elites (here in the US) who have been "elite" for years and don't compete much (Cassie Whitcomb of CGA is one that comes to mind...if you look at her bio on USAG , she has competed 3 times for the US in all the years she's been endlessly training as an elite...she's a good gymnast it's a shame we haven't seen more of her) so what has the benefit of elite status been? Even being on the National Team doesn't insure that they compete either ...
I think colleges do look at the good Level 9/10s and the elites so i don't think that elite is the only road to success in this sport...you're actually likely to last longer (at least physically) in the JO track..
