Hi all Has anyone seen the podium times or comp info for national finals yet? :)

DD mentioned today something about no one wanting to host nationals or elite canada this year. What would happen in that case? How will kids get carded? Has this happened ever before?

Just wanted to say good luck to all the gymmies at National TOPS testing this weekend!!!! My daughter (& teammates) have pretty much been either a basket case or zombies this week! I'm sure all these girls have worked really hard and I just want to remind everyone that as their parents, it is...

This Saturday, the 20th, is National Gymnastics Day and I'm having a big combined practice with all ten of my girls. I'm planning on having games and mini competitions, as well as maybe watching some videos and such. I think it would be a nice break from the usual grind and intensity of...

My 8 YO DD will be going to national TOPS testing this October. We are total newbies at this. We haven't even traveled more than an hour for a meet yet! I noticed housing is available at the ranch and hotels are also recommended. Does anyone experienced with this recommend an option? My DD...

My DD did not qualify as a ten year old to National Testing this year but was within a few points of the 82 cut off. I heard there had been some errors in calculating scores for her age group. Could things change or does anyone know if the cut off will change.

Is there live scoring for this? anyone know???

Hello all. Does anyone have thoughts on which stream, CPN aspire/elite or level 8/9 provincial, would better prepare gymnasts to take the leap to national novice. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

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...

I want to attend the USAG National Congress in Pittsburgh this year. I'm interested in going for the entire event (all four days) because I want to attend as many clinics and presentations as I can, as well as being able to see the P&G Championships. My questions are: If I want to attend the...

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

My oldest has her grades in 2 weeks and we were emailed a copy of the pre competition letter, on it was a section requestion some information about each gymnasts for the MC, they want to know : Name Club Do they have a birthday during the event How long have you been doing gymnastics How many...

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 just flipping through my latest issue of USA Gymnastics and saw the group pictures of the National TOPs A & B Team camps! I enjoyed reading the thread a couple of months ago as several in our chalkBucket community found out their girls made one of the teams. I was soooo excited for you...

Anyone know where I can find the results?

France is the land of centralized power. Our national gymnastics program is a reflection of this. Gymnasts that show a certain potential are invited to national training centers around 10 years of age.If they wish ,they can then attend THE national training center in Paris at the age of 13...

This weekend was our first ever National TOPs testing at the ranch. I have to say it was a great learning experience for my daughter. Truly an amazing experience overall. Now we wait to find out if she did well enough to make Team A or Team B. Keeping fingers crossed bc she can't wait to back...

National Tops Testing is next weekend. Sure hope some parents or coaches are going to post on chalkbucket about the whole experience!

I am the Mum (Aussie expat) of an 11year old Level 8 gymnast in the USA. I am wondering what level in the National stream she could be in Australia? At level 8 they do 4A's and 4 B's in their routines. I have looked for info on Australia websites, but not easy to find - so hoping this forum may...
