    Saying No thanks to TOPS

    Since this is TOPS season, many TOPS threads are cropping up on these forums. Here comes a controversial question/topic from a different angle... Are there any parents or gymnasts here who turned down such an opportunity to train for/with the best? This can be for a number of reasons including...

    Brag Alert - TOPs Testing

    My 9 yr old DD just finished her first ever TOPs test early this evening. She has been working very hard on this because she was almost obsessive about qualifying to go to National Training Center at the Karolyi Ranch in Houston. Last year, 62 was the cutoff score to be invited down to...

    TOPs Testing

    Have any of your DD's done their TOPs testing yet? My 9 yr old DD was at Lake Owen last week and missed the first test our Gym goes to. The next one is July 24th in Youngstown, Ohio. We are bummed that she only gets to take the test once but she had such a blast at Lake Owen. She routinely...

    Tops

    I'm sure that this may sound ridiculous to some of you, but... What is TOPS? I'm just curious, really. I asked at our gym, and they looked at me like I smacked them in the face with a frozen fish or something. She just kind of said "tops? gymnastics tops? it must be like some kind of team...

    Parents Who loves conditioning & TOPS?

    I am begining to think my DD is a freak. She wants to be on the TOPS team & so has been doing press handstands or trying to hold handstands all over the house & all hours of day/night. Her favorite practice day during the week is the day they spend conditioning & the coach records their...

    Is TOPS necessary?!?

    My daughter is 10 yrs. old and a level 8. Her coach recently decided to take some girls to TOPS testing. She was under the impression that she was going, but was told she was not (without any reasons why!) She is upset because she thought it would be a great experience. We pretty much stay...

    What exactly is TOPs Program?

    I have heard of the TOPs training program from a documentary that I saw about The Parkettes on CNN called The Pursuit of the Perfect 10.

    Coaches TOPS Program

    I would like opinions on the TOPS Program. I know it is not a requirement for gymnasts looking to go elite.............but do the national or elite coaches want kids who have done well in a TOPS Program???
