    Is TOPS necessary?!?

    I wish my daughter's coach was like you! That is exactly the reason she wanted to go; for the experience and to see where she stood among others her age. She is now determined to work at her skills and test next year. She'll turn 11. But she got such a sour taste from the way it was...

    Is TOPS necessary?!?

    Parents Hello!

    Parents Hello!

    I appreciate that! We felt really bad because of her let down. We don't eat, sleep, and breathe gymnastics, but she does. We try our best to support her
