    Parents How long should gymnast be at L10?

    Curious to know, do you invite the colleges to your gym to see her or do they hear about her through the grapevine and come check her out on their own?

    Parents Commonly skipped levels

    My daughter went from 5 to 7. I'm pretty sure skipping level 6 is fairly common.

    Parents Will there be another elite qualifier added this year?

    Answering my own question, and for anyone interested out there, USAG just posted two additional elite qualifiers: one in late April at GAGE and the other in late May at Coastal Realm in Everett, WA. https://usagym.org/women/elite/national-qualifiers-and-elite-competitions/

    Parents Will there be another elite qualifier added this year?

    Yes, definitely going to discuss with her coaches and won't make any decisions until then. But it has been on my mind for a bit. She is better physically, but she hasn't been training fully and needs to rebuild her consistency.

    Parents Will there be another elite qualifier added this year?

    That's great info. And yes, looks like they've done that in the past. June would be much better than April. Do they do a qualifier every year? I'm thinking of pulling her out of next week so she can continue to heal.

    Parents Will there be another elite qualifier added this year?

    I was wondering if there will be another qualifier added this year, or will KPAC be the last? I've heard that there were bids submitted in Feb for another one, but haven't heard anything beyond that (and not sure if that's even true to begin with). Asking because my gymnast has been battling...

    Parents Questions about training elite…

    Cale/PR has been on my radar for a while. Even more so now with Sarah Jantzi running the elite program. I might ask you some questions offline if you don't mind.

    Parents Questions about training elite…

    Thanks for asking. No, she didn't qualify. She's been battling two injuries that sidelined her for two months before and prevented her from practicing fully. She just wasn't ready despite having had her skills before the injuries. And she reinjured one of them on beam. We're planning on going to...

    A fall is actually what stopped her from qualifying last year even with her low start value on bars. And it was on a skill she normally nails (back tuck on beam), but that's how it goes sometimes. If she doesn't fall, she would've been over 45.

    Parents Questions about training elite…

    She definitely has legs, and hasn't done a Yurchenko pike since L8. She was doing a layout last year. Beam is switch leap+split, full turn, BH layout, side aerial, switch side, side straddle, front tuck, dismount (not sure what specifically, but it's a C value). 4.7 start value. On bars she...

    Parents Questions about training elite…

    Right, I get that. For reference, she scored mid-40s last year with significantly lower D scores after training Hopes for less than a year. Her start values will, of course, be higher this time around. If she executes at the same level she typically does (in JO and Hopes), she can hit that...

    She's 13 now, so she'll be 14 next year.
