    Parents Questions about training elite…

    Hi everyone, First post here, but a longtime gym dad. And apologies for a rather long one... My 13 year old is about to enter her L10 season. She’s talented and dedicated, putting in extra hours every day and some on the weekends with the goal of being an elite gymnast. In fact, she started...

    Parents 11 year old level 9 -should we consider elite?

    My 11 year old is competing level 9 this year. Should we consider elite? Her coach seems to think so but we are on the fence. We don't think we can handle it financially.. And not sure if its the right thing.

    Anon Gym building an elite program - would you stay if not on that path?

    My kid's gym has traditionally been an extremely strong JO/DP only program with the stated goal of getting girls to level 10 by freshman year and then on to a college team. They've been really successful at this and my child is most definitely still on this path. She is a 6th grade level 8 who...

    Gymnasts Elite artistic and trampoline gymnastics?

    Hello. I am a 17 year old who is training to become an elite gymnast. I was wondering if I could do both WAG and T+T as an elite. Is it possible? I have the time and money to do it, but I am unsure if starting T+T at the elite level is worth it or even possible.

    Anon Latest age to start elite gymnastics

    Random question: is it possible to start gymnastics at a later age (like 10-12 years old) and still have a very successful gymnastics career (talking about elite gymnastics)? On a similar note, do you have to do Jr. Elite to be a successful Sr. Elite? I think it is possible, but highly unlikely...

    I'm 13 and I started gymnastics when I had JUST turned 8, and at that time I already was self taught and was about level 3.

    WAG Junior Elite is so confusing!

    Anon What level should elite qualifiers compete?

    I have a question. I know many gyms train up and compete down, but if you made an elite compulsory qualifying score, but competed level 8 for season doesn't that just mean you should be competing at a higher level? One of the gyms in our area qualified 3 kids. 2 of the 3 were competing in elite...
