    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...

    WAG How to find gyms that offer Elite training and HOPES program in the United States.

    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...

    Anon HOPES training - what to expect?

    Does anyone have information or experiences they can share about their DD's HOPES training path? I.e. what to expect in terms of rigor, competitions, expense etc. My DD was invited to join a HOPES track at her gym and we haven't committed yet, just looking for more information about others...

    Anon Is HOPES possible/worth it for my kid?

    TLDR summary: My kid will be 11 soon. She is competing level 6, has all her level 7 skills. Sweet, brave, coachable kid. "Elite" coach at our gym approached me to ask about moving my kid into the HOPES training group. Kid is waaaaaaay behind the others in the group at this point. And really she...

    WAG HOPES

    Could someone please explain to me or direct me to resources on Hopes? I went to the usag website and it didn’t seem to give as useful info as I hoped. Our gym is considering starting up a program and I’m curious about it. Basically what I understand is that it is for like a pre-elite track...

    WAG HOPES skills for 10-11 year olds?

    Hey all, I can’t find the answer to this so I’m hoping you fine folks can help me - for the 10-11 age group, what are the skills required for the routines? I seriously can’t find anything besides the required scores, but not anything else!

    Lockdown ruined their hopes to move up.

    My girls were levels 5/6 when lockdown started. They aren't aiming for high levels but hoped to be learning level 7 by now. Just restarted in tiny unequipped space after a year virtually. I would like them to train elsewhere for a month to see if they could get back on track but they've lost so...

    WAG TOPs/HOPES parents

    When your kid tests for TOPs/HOPES are they judged/scored by their coaches? Our gym recently did testing and our coaches scored the girls. There were maybe 5 other girls testing that were not from the gym. Is that not a conflict of interest? When DD tested at her previous gym 3 seasons ago...

    WAG TOPS/HOPES Coach of the Year

    I didn't even know that this was a thing but one of Lily's coaches was just named the TOPS/HOPES Coach of the Year for 2017-2018! The USECA (United States Elite Coaches Association) names 2 coaches of the year each year, one for TOPS/HOPES and one for Elite. This is pretty amazing considering...

    WAG HOPES Challenge - live scores??

    I've checked myusagym and meetscores, and it doesn't look like they're prepared to post scores. Anywhere else I can look? I know it hasn't started just yet, but I'm hoping someone has information I don't :)

    WAG Tops/Hopes

    How can I be added to the TOPS/Hopes group on here? I have requested access to the group, but am not sure how to actually be able to access it. I have a child training TOPS and would like to be able to read information from others. Thank you!

    WAG HOPEs championships question

    I am kinda late with this, but why were there so many split jumps with a half turn starting (and ending) in Side position on beam? It looks like a really risky Skill for a pretty low value...

    WAG HOPES Classic - anyone know about any live scoring?

    We have a gymmie going to the Classic on Friday. I know cell service and wifi is sketchy in the gym, so I won't get much updates from the mom... So if anyone knows anywhere that there might be live scoring that I can stalk, I'd love to know!!!! Thanks!

    WAG HOPES qualification question

    If a gymmie turned 11 last June, are they considered 11 for qualification purposes right now, or, because they turn 12 THIS year, they are considered 12 right now?
