elite

I definitely have a pit in my stomach thinking about the upcoming elite Canada meet next week. There are over 60 in her level... her missing a year.... really does make your tummy turn. Her bars are starting to take shape.... they still have a few other things to put in but her coach is...

How long do the meets last?

Just wanted to let you know that GK elite is doing a huge sale on the new leotard styles. Like 50% off kind of huge. If GK is your brand of choice, you might want to check it out. GK Elite Clearance The UA Noble Replica Leotard is on sale from $70 to $35, same with the UA Fearless Replica...

Anyone know of any gyms in Indiana where they have an elite program or girls who are training elite?

So just curious as to how many hours elite level gymnasts (jr and senior elite, Developmental Team athletes, etc) are training per week

I love GK leotards, but they run around $60 on the website and I just can't pay that much for a practice leotard. So, is there anywhere I can find them cheaper? Thanks

Does anyone have a connection with this gym? DD's gym owners gave us this as a recommendation of where she should train while we are in Vegas for Christmas, I have emailed, called, left voicemails, etc. and I have yet to hear back. Just wondering if there is some better way to get in contact...

Alex gets to go to Elite Canada - yah... She was more nervous at this meet then her mock meet. It was so nice to see her smiling throughout the entire meet. Lots of new skills in these routines and competing for the first time. Hopefully by February she will be able to get the upgrades they...

We have a meeting to talk with the owners/coaches regarding our DD, 10 years old, and 2 of her teammates, 1 is 10 also and the other is 11, regarding moving them in the direction of the elite route, starting with HOPES. My husband and I have no idea what to expect, we are excited and a bit...

Not sure that I saw this posted anywhere else. I love Maggie. It was so sad that this year went the way it did, but I love her positive attitude. I am sure she'll rock the college ranks...

My 6 year old has no fat on her but has what her coach said 'high bone density' which could work as a disadvantage for her because she has to be proportionally stronger. Is it the be all and end all? Her coach didn't really say but my dd works so hard and if her body shape means she will...

Hello all, can anyone please advice me of a good gym preferably have an elite program in or around Houston, Tx??

For gyms that don't do TOPS, when do the coaches usually "recognize" a gymnast as having that something extra and start them on a different path? The reason I ask, our gym is fairly new, and the head coach informed all the optionals yesterday that she has decided that one of the 9yo L6 is going...

I was watching some "old" YouTube videos with DD from the 2008 Olympics (in particular Shawn and Nastia). One thing that surprised me was how high the difficulty value was for Shawn on beam and Nastia on bars. The commentator was saying that Shawn had a 7.0 D value on beam if she completed one...

Could someone help me understand how the "elite" program works with JO in men's gymnastics? This comes from a comment I heard from someone on the girls side of our gym about our boys program basically stating that any of our boys team results in JO level 10 weren't really all that impressive...

When may a gymnast OFFICIALLY call herself an Elite Level gymnast?

A bit of a rant. But why when meets host qualifiers do they have live scoring for every single group but the HOPEs and Elite qualifiers? The fact that I can follow my friends L9 for year after year, but the minute it is Hopes or elite then nothing. I have noticed this for a long time, it is...

So it turns out DS is not going. I'm kind of bummed for him, but at the same time glad to not have to handle another unplanned fly away. It's the first time our region has sent a team, so I guess there wasn't really an established process for picking the team--or maybe there was and I don't...

A question about qualifications? Top 36 National Novice group combined make it to day 2 Day 2 : Both days combined, top 20 plus a few petitions make High Performance. Am I correct?

I was wondering if an athlete is age eligible for novice but tries for junior and does not get it. Can they still go for or petition a novice spot?
