national team

Landon Blixt was added to the Senior Development Team to replace Josh Karnes.

There are often questions on this forum about "is it fair for former elites to compete L10?" or "Is it fair for someone training tops to compete L4?" or "Is it fair for someone with L7 skills to compete L5?" etc. etc. and my opinion to all of these is a simple "yes." I mean, we all know that...

I was surprised to discover that the Russians and Americans had the same total team start value, 68.8. Of course that's counting the 1.5 Yurchenko for Simone. So we totally lost this on execution. I think the Americans have been increasingly getting lax in terms of execution. I was never a fan...

This is so sad. Somehow it posted twice. Sorry.

Was just watching the U.S. Championships and it got me wondering what competitions come next after making the junior elite National Team? The Seniors have the Worlds coming up in October but what do the juniors have to look forward to? Where exactly, what major competition, will they be...

Anybody have a video of the new warm up?? Daughter has to learn the new one :) we’ve trie everything, the only place we found it was on flo gymnastics but you have to have the pro account

I found this article really interesting. It shows a breakdown of just how many girls attempt to qualify elite and how many actually end up being named to the national team. https://thegymter.net/2018/08/20/the-path-to-the-national-team/

I'm having a hard time figuring out how girls qualify for the National Team as Senior or Junior Elites. I had assumed it was the top 10 or something like that (with ties included). My skills with search engines are failing me though, because I haven't been able to find an answer and simply...

Can someone kind of explain how the selection camp works. I read somewhere at the beginning of camp that this camp would be the last for Gabby and Maggie before American Cup. So I think that was decided before camp even started? But they were selecting other girls for World Cup and Gymnix? How...

So the US women's team for Jelolo, Italy sure is strong - with three '12 Olympians! (Aly, Gabby, Kyla) Plus the seemingly unstopable Simone, plus one of my personal favorites, Nora Flatley.....plus plus PLUS! Many, many other super talents are on this list. Seniors and juniors alike are all...

Does anyone (Dunno???) know why they have not posted any videos from the last few national team training camps?

I've done a search and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Some of the girls from our gym are competing at the JO LV 10 nationals this weekend, and I noticed that the top scoring girls will be named to the national team. How is that team different from the USAG elite national team? Do they...

Link Removed What do you think? This is surprising to me, considering she seems to be on the top of her game.

Does anyone know who all the U.S. National team coaches currently are?

Just wondering what other clubs do out there for their national girls. Do they train longer hours? Do they train together or are they intermingled with the provincial girls. Do they work on different skills together? Release moves, tumbling, etc.? Do they condition any different? Any...

I was curious what level you have to be to qualify to be a National team member. Is it elite? Do you have any video examples of routines of folks that are on the National team? Also is there a Jr. and Sr. team or just one, and what are the ages or age limits? Thanks!

After the competition they announced the national team. Here they are...what does everyone think? U.S. Senior National Team Rebecca Bross Bridgette Caquatto Mackenzie Caquatto Gabrielle Douglas Shawn Johnson McKayla Maroney Chellsie Memmel Alexandra Raisman Alicia Sacramone Sabrina Vega...

What is the physical abilities testing done at the ranch for the national team members? I remember reading before last world championships that an individual placed first:(I can't remember who) so it must be something that is important. Could anyone with insight shed some light on how and why...
