    Off Topic GK Elite Outlet

    Hey everyone! I've been selling a couple of my leos so I could buy a new one, and I was wondering, has anyone ever ordered over the phone from the GK Outlet? How much did you pay for one leo and was it legit? I told a teammate about the Outlet and she said it sounded "sketchy".

    WAG Elite Training

    Why train Elite over JO? My daughter recently started training with the elite group at her gym. She has solid L9 skills and many L10 skills. She has had great success in her gymnastics career (38+, top 3 AA/event). Her coaches are very capable and have had success with their previous elites...

    T&T Elite Challenge Senior Men's Tumbling Final

    In case anyone is interested, I was able to tape the full senior men's tumbling final. Excuse the lousy phone-quality video and editing. It looks better on my phone - YouTube really seemed to downgrade it when I uploaded.

    WAG Qualifying Elite at the ranch and other thoughts

    Just continuing my education here. I understand that you can qualify elite at qualifiers during the meet season. The girls do both optional and compulsory routines at these meets, and must achieve a certain score at each in order to qualify. I understand that you can also do the compulsory and...

    WAG When did Nastia become an elite?

    One of my gymnasts asked me to explain why the USAG site lists Nastia as being a member of the national team Link Removed when she was as young as 6 YO (according to the years listed).

    Do the girls that score high enough only compete elite from then on or can they still drop back and compete the lower levels?

    T&T 2014 Elite Challenge

    It's only four months away, are they ever going to post a location? Hard to make travel plans when we don't know where we are going. I guess I can forget using frequent flyer miles.
