    One more week to Elite Canada

    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...

    WAG Places to get cheap GK elite leotards?

    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

    WAG Salcianu Elite

    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...

    Off to Elite Canada in February :)

    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...

    Parents Meeting with coaches to talk elite route with our DD

    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...

    Maggie Nichols Retires from Elite

    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...

    Parents Bone density and elite gymnastics

    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...

    WAG When do gymnasts switch to "elite track"

    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...

    WAG Elite D Values - Have they changed?

    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...

    MAG Men's Elite stream vs. JO?

    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...

    WAG TOPs Hopes Elite results - secret?

    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...

    MAG Regional Elite Team update

    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...

    Elite Canada question

    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?
