    Parents TOPs testing if not competitive?

    Is it worth it for my dd to test TOPs once or twice if she's not going to be competitive within her age group? She would be in the 8 year old group. Her gym isn't that committed to TOPs, although they consistently work on the physical abilities as part of their workouts. Her coach said she can...

    Parents Question about TOPs testing

    When the girls do multiple tests do they use their best score on each thing regardless of which test they got it at? For example lets say the kids best rope climb and handstand hold is at test #1, but their best splits and presses were at test #2. Or do they just take the overall score at each...

    WAG Testing out before the 2013 changes

    There seems to be some confusion among the gym management at DD's gym as to when the deadline is for testing out using current routines. There are a number of girls that are going to do current 6 before the changes, but various contacts at the state committee have given either "I don't know"...

    WAG TOPS testing benefits at a young age?

    What benefits are there to starting TOPS testing early on, i.e., right at 7 yrs old? Do the girls get to skip levels? My daughter just turned 6, level 3/4, and I notice they are regularly working some of the TOPS type skills, i.e., working on holding handstand 30 seconds, press handstands, leg...

    TOPS Testing Scores

    Just a quick question - for State TOPS testing, do you all find out what your daughter's scores were (how many points, etc)? Our gym says they won't tell us so we shouldn't ask - but I don't think that's right! Don't we have a right to know how they did? This is my daughters first year doing...

    Changes to TOPS state level testing

    Any thoughts on the changes to TOPS testing? I'm interested particularly in thoughts on the skill and skill combination testing. And if your child is in a "TOPS program" are you aware of the changes.
