elite

Just wondering if anybody has experience with the Elite Sportz Band. I am considering one for my 14 year old DD to wear during practice. She is starting to experience some back pain and we are wondering if the extra support will help as she works to heal, strengthen and stretch her back. Thanks!

We have 3 elites that are dropping back to level 10 this year and my coach has coached many elites. Since we no longer have any elites, are we still an "Elite Gym"? My coach was telling us that he wants to just have a very strong level 10 team this year and not worry about elite or anything.

Apparently Adidas and GK could not come to an agreement. No more Adidas leos from GK. Anyone know anymore info about this?

I have seen where a few girls move gyms for whatever reason. I see that plenty move to Elite gyms, with elite coaches. Just wondering are these girls recruited by the elite gyms or is it a move by the parents to try to advance the kid? I am sure it could be both but I was mainly wondering if...

How do you know that your kid should take a shot at elite? At what age/level do you need to make the decision? What size training group is best for elite training? What does elite do for your chances of a college scholarship vs spending several years at Level 10? What hours are elites...

So a couple of moms from my girls' team were talking outside the gym and I overheard. They were talking about a 15 year old level 10 that wanted to do elite. She is in 10th grade so she will be turning 16 this year. The girl is a pretty solid 10 and she swings bars on the fig setting. Thing is...

Hi! I hope this is in the right spot, I can't get the hang of this forum! Anyway, my 4 year old is obsessed with her super short "bar shorts". She has sturdy legs and I think being so short they are comfortable. The issue is she wants to wear them everyday as regular wear and they are just too...

Does anyone know where next year's elite "VISA" national championships will be? I can't seem to find that info anywhere. It should be easy to find, if USAG wants to encourage folks to get out to see them next year. I would think a lot more people than usual will be looking at gymnastics...

Currently, i am 15 years old and will be a level 9 this upcoming year when i am a sophomore. I have all of my level 10 skills so i might switch over to 10 mid season. i am really interested in becoming an elite gymnast, i would be honored to go to the olympics, but just competing in the small...

I don't really know much about gymnastics, and I feel clueless all of the time. My kid really likes it though. They coaches tell me she's good. My kid also tells me she wants to be the best gymnast one day. She says that a lot, and has been saying it for a couple of years. She's also 7 and...

Does anyone know where I can find the results for the Compulsory Elite Qualifier held in Arizona on 4/18/2012? :confused:

i know i havent started gymnastics yet but i just want to know what do i have to have to qualiffy to be an elite gymnast? like what skills? what scores?

hi, i have read on usag's site about the scoring, but i couldn't find anything about the specifics for ALL of their point deductions (falls, wobbles, disconnection of skills, out of bounds, etc). i've read that a fall off the apparatus is a deduction of 0.8, then on another page i read it was a...

I was wondering if someone could give be an explantation of the elite procedure. I know that in order to qualify for elite you need to have a compulsary score and an optional score. The score you need depends on what you are qualifing in (SR,JR etc). But from there I have several questions...

If I'm not mistaken, please correct me if I'm wrong... FIG gymnastics code of points upgraded a double back tuck to a D skill. I believe they did this because elite gymnasts were doing their double back pikes with such bad form... Such as split legs and flexed feet. Though, not all gymnasts do...

I have a question about elite gymnastics scoring with the new system. I know the difficulty level is taken from the ten most difficult elements, but my question is with the execution. When they score execution, do they deduct from only the 10 most difficult elements or all of the elements...

Just wondering, an please give me an honest response. I am 13 years olds, level 8 and live in Canada. Do you think that I could ever make it to the elite level? I struggle with twisting (just learning a full). I vault a piked Tsuk. I am learning double back flyaways on bars, and I cab do...

A few threads lately have me thinking, how young must girls start serious training to acheive their maximum potential, if elite is the goal? I see so often comments posted that encourage the slow and steady path, there is no rush, pushing skills too young leads to burnt out and injury. But the...

I had the pleasure of meeting her recently and watched her practice. I can't believe how much she has learned since her last minute foray into elite last spring. In terms of skills she's absolutely up there in the with top in the country with bars being the last thing to come around. I think...

Hey Guys! My daughter has set a new goal of qualifying for elite. She knows that it is very slim of her actually making it, but that is what she is going to aim for. I had a few questions on the qualifications. How do you qualify for elite? I have heard a lot of stuff about the elite...
