elite

My 11 year old is competing level 9 this year. Should we consider elite? Her coach seems to think so but we are on the fence. We don't think we can handle it financially.. And not sure if its the right thing.

Here are the hours that you are going up against in the elite world...

My kid's gym has traditionally been an extremely strong JO/DP only program with the stated goal of getting girls to level 10 by freshman year and then on to a college team. They've been really successful at this and my child is most definitely still on this path. She is a 6th grade level 8 who...

My daughter is an artistic athlete (prefer not to say due to it being a small community), and her private lessons are 1.5-2 hours away once per week and last 1.5 hours. Private ballet is 1 hour away, and though weekly would be best, we typically go every other week. They are in opposite...

Hey y'all, I was wondering if there are any parents on this forum that can share their experiences with their gymnast participating in TOPs/HOPES and any type of 'training elite' or 'fast-track' program. What was their training schedule like? When did they get their schoolwork done? Did your...

Hello. I am a 17 year old who is training to become an elite gymnast. I was wondering if I could do both WAG and T+T as an elite. Is it possible? I have the time and money to do it, but I am unsure if starting T+T at the elite level is worth it or even possible.

Random question: is it possible to start gymnastics at a later age (like 10-12 years old) and still have a very successful gymnastics career (talking about elite gymnastics)? On a similar note, do you have to do Jr. Elite to be a successful Sr. Elite? I think it is possible, but highly unlikely...

I hate to sound really ignorant, but we are kind of new in the sense that my daughter still at a lower level. She has these big dreams that someday she wants to be on the national team. When I spoke to her Coach, she said she should know better than that. They only go up to level 10. We would...

I'm 13 and I started gymnastics when I had JUST turned 8, and at that time I already was self taught and was about level 3. Fast forward to today and I'm probably like level 8 or 9 but I'm competing xcel platinum and sort of repressing my higher level skills for this competition season. I can...

I am.so confused when it comes to elite ... so my question is. If you qualify elite compulsory with a 36 or higher.and you compete at optional but don't qualify do you have compete at compulsory again the next year?

For any coaches/clubs who have elite pathway programs, training TOPS gymnasts or are training young gymnasts with a lot of potential, how many hours do your girls train a week? I have 5 girls on my team (ages 6-8) who seem to have a lot of potential and i’m trying to get a sense of what it takes...

I'm just curious for more information after reading through the "Confused Myself" thread. I'm not really interested in doing junior elite with my 8yr old (level 4) but I do wonder if she may want to do senior elite someday. Is it possible for a child to go elite in a town with no elite gyms? I...

Hello! So when we started, we knew nothing about gymnastics. Our 3 year old daughter seemed to be naturally inclined, so we signed her up for gymnastics and she began on preteam. In the next year she excelled and became incredibly passionate about gym. It was obviously exciting watching her...

I don't desperately need to know this or anything, just want to know because I like knowing everything when it comes to gymnastics. Do Junior Elite gymnasts compete a compulsory and an optional routine until they achieve the required compulsory score and then drop it? Is that right? Answers...

I have a question. I know many gyms train up and compete down, but if you made an elite compulsory qualifying score, but competed level 8 for season doesn't that just mean you should be competing at a higher level? One of the gyms in our area qualified 3 kids. 2 of the 3 were competing in elite...
