elite

My Mini is 8 years old, and made it to national TOPS testing in IND in Oct... I don't know what I don't know. Any advise would be nice. Thanks!!

Where can I get one??? Who is making these?? Ozone? I notice only Riley McCusker has leotards specifically ‘branded’ MG Elite..... Anyone know?

Does anyone know when the last National Elite Qualifier is this year. Is there one planned for right before the American Classic and Hopes Classic like in previous years?

Hey! Long time no see! But now I’m back and I have a question to those who are more familiar with the FIG CoP. I’ve been wondering what routines would have the highest possible scores on each event? Like what skills would these routines have (highest difficulty) and what kind of connections? If...

We see a lot of talk here about all of the sacrifices gymnasts make at all levels, but especially those on the elite/college bound track that it was fun to see a story about a senior national team member who is also giving high school diving a try simultaneously. Pretty cool of her gymnastics...

Hoping someone has the answer to this. If a gymmie is qualified as Junior elite and they turn senior. Do they have to requalify for senior?

Hi guys, I like to joke that Im always looking for our Aimee Boorman...we are new to the sport and have no idea where our gymnasts will ultimately end up but they have big dreams. If you could take your kid to any gym in the nation, where would you go? What coaches have caught your eye...

My daughter started Gymnastics nearly 2 years ago in recreational and was asked if she'd like to join the artistic squad 6 months later - she seems naturally flexible and completely obsessed! Her coach took me aside recently and said she's really talented and was forming an elite group within...

Does a gymnast who has qualified elite, qualify the next year as well or do you keep your elite status until you drop back?

Yesterday, my 11-year-old son's coach talked to him about doing Technical Sequences and competing as a Level 8 Junior Elite. My son is not always the best at explaining things, and I know my partner and I will have a chance to talk to the coach soon and ask him questions, but I'd love an...

This had to be a tough decision to retire from Elite, but thankfully she can continue out her career as a L10 and then move on to NCAA: https://www.instagram.com/p/BW0XfMBFKQk/ There are a handful of us on the CB who are Norah Flatley fans, and this inspiring young lady - a true beam queen! -...

Just turned 11 Level 8. Just curious for those that have 10 year old 10s and 9 year old 9s. Are they on the elite path, and if not, why not? The one gymnast at our gym that ever showed that sort of progression is now a junior international elite. She left our gym at around level 9 to go to a...

We have a few new girls in our gym that are elite and/or on the elite track. Whathe exactly does that mean?

I'm curious, what do you think? I know Chow's only has 2 but they seem to prefer low numbers there and that isn't necessarily the norm. How many elites have you seen/known in other gyms? And what about the possible average number of level 10 gymnasts per gym?

I watched the unrealistic Make it or break it tv show with my DD a while ago and noticed that in it the elite gymnasts had a lot of competitions as a club team conpeting against other clubs. As far as I've seen, outside of the national team, no elite gymnasts compete as a team in any...

We are from Canada and gymnastics does not seem to be as strong as in USA. But still, my daughter seems to be a very talented gymnast. She will be coached by probably one of the best coach in the region. That's good news but our concerns is that our club as never produced an Elite gymnast. It...

I was watching a recording of the world cup in London and Amy Tinkler put her hands down on the beam to save herself from a fall on her series. The commentator mentioned she would get .5 deduction for it. I thought putting hands on their beam to prevent a fall is still considered a fall, that's...

First, this is not about my DD - not looking for an elite career (though there was a glimmer of that path at one time, but have moved on...) Anyway... A gym dad I met recently was talking about his daughter. She is on track to be a 11 year old L7 next spring. She is a pretty high scorer at...

I was watching the American Cup where Tim Dagget mentioned scoring is getting harder and no one will get scores as high as they were at the Olympics. Dagget said the scores will generally be a full point lower than the scores at the Olympics. What were these changes made that is making the...

Dd and I were having a discussion last night and this new rule came up. So if I understand it right, the new rule states that you must do a skill out of the shaposhy skills now where up until now most people simply kipped out of them. If you Kip out of the skill now, you will take a .5 hit for...
