I've been hearing rumors that USAG is thinking of discontinuing the TOPS program. Anyone else heard this??

Having such young children away from home without parents is difficult post Nassar.
Anyone else heard this??
I think she was referring to the camps: TOPS A, B, DIC camp, etc. Parents were not allowed in the past to attend, and some of the children are as young as 8 years old.TOPS does not require this at all.

I don’t see where TOPS is spectacularly predictive of high level gymnastics ability
TOPs is very helpful for clubs without a significant history of elites and dev/tops athletes. The program helps train coaches as much as it spots talented kids. Sometimes I see wildly talented young athletes with heads way out on bars, chopped roundoffs, and using their arms to make active split positions. Coaches working with coaches, or coaches working with athletes, can nip these problems in the bud and lead to a much more successful future. Is it required? Of course not. Is it helpful to certain athletes and coaches? Of course it is.
Was there something that went out to cancel Hopes championships? I still see people claiming that they are going to happen? Also, we know if they intend on changing the HOPES age groups?Cancelled for this season. No HOPES championships for this past season.
Why the mixed feelings?Everyone that qualified is automatically qualified to next year. I have very mixed feelings.....
Because her daughter qualified but then decided not to do elite.Why the mixed feelings?
