Hi - I'm new to this forum but am curious to know what physical testing / conditioning requirements are in place at your gyms (requirements that need to be completed before an athlete can move up a level or compete).
At our gym we have two requirements - athletes must get at least a 32 AA...
The last TOPs testing is this weekend, and the score cut-offs won’t be released until after then. Anyone have any idea what scoring distributions have looked like?
I love Iceland, it is such an interesting country, on so many levels. Their testing has really brought up some great stats. What do you think.

My little girl is on the gymnastics squad (team for those in America)
She is 6. We got an email saying they will he tested next month to decide whether they stay on the squad.
Wondering if anyone knows what type of tests they will be given?
Hey everyone, I just joined the group (I should have done this years ago because i know nothing about gymnastics....). My daughter is testing as a 9-year old in the TOPs program. We just had a mock meet and she received scores, but I have no idea what a good score is, or what would be a score...
I was wondering what you all think about this... my older DD is 9 and training level 7 for the second time. The first time was exactly a year ago; she got all her skills on time for testing and then "lost" the giant the week of testing. She went back and forth with the skill and ultimately...
TOPS National Testing can now be watched by the parents. Parents were never allowed to watch when it was held at the ranch. I'm wondering if this means parents will be able to watch invite and devo camps as well?? Not holding my breath on that one though.
Hey all! As many of you know we are in the trenches of TOPs testing this month! How's everyone doing? We never know as everything is confidential.. we don't see testing or scores so it's a waiting game! Lol! My favorite!! ( not )
I would post this in the TOPs/HOPES group, but I've been waiting...
Hi all! I'm new to the group so I just wanted to introduce myself. My oldest dd is a 7 year old competitive gymnast and she is the one and only ever gymnast to test for TOPs at our gym.
I just wanted to check to see if there are maybe any other 7 year old tops mommas on here and see if we...
What is the cutoff for when a child must be 8 to test as an 8 year old? Is it at the time of summer state testing or is it by the end of the year? My daughter has a fall birthday and was invited to train TOPs and I was wondering if she would be testing as a 7 or 8 year old next summer, since she...
my daughter is on her gym's TOPS Team and she is 8 and it is her first year doing TOPS Team. The gym's TOPS Team is given high priority in the gym with an eye towards State testing. However, the issue is the gym is not prepared to fully commit to State Testing every year as a matter of course...

Comps were 36.5 (needed a 33) and Optionals were a 53.5 (needed a 49)
She broke her big toe mid january and her routines were modified to...
