    Women Cost of TOPS

    My DD is getting more and more involved in TOPS. Can anyone tell me the ongoing costs for this? The costs keep adding up and I'm wondering if it is worth it and if we are going to be able to keep paying. We pay monthly TOPS class fees, travel to Texas multiple times a year fees, and all of our...

    Women More TOPS questions...

    So national testing is coming up and I am curious...do the girls have to have near perfect scores to make it to A or B camp? Just wondering if the girls that make it have near perfect scores or if the ones who have made it to a camp in the past have had a bobble or missed skill during testing...

    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...

    Women State TOPS testing-hows it going?

    My daughter has tested twice so far. Trying to decide if we should go for a third test, but hard to know with the new testing what she should even be aiming for as a "good score". She did pretty well on skills and phys abilities, but missed her toe circle and only held her handstand 16...

    Hello, I am new to this site and was wondering about the scoring for the state TOPs testing? I know it changed since last year since they added the skills at the state level, but I have no idea how the scoring will go?

    Any other gyms deciding to skip TOPS this year after normally doing it?

    DD's gym has decided to skip TOPS testing this year due to the changes in state testing. The coach said they wanted to wait a year and see how it all works out with the addition of the skills at state testing. They felt the final draft of the requirements came out too late and they want to...

    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.

    Pulling DD out of TOPs program

    My husband wants to pull our DD out of the TOPs program. She is struggling with some fear issues and has lost some of her skills - will only do layout fly-away when coach is in view, does cartwheel backtuck off beam now instead of roundoff backtuck, afraid to do back walkover back handspring on...

    TOPs B Campers - any communication from gymnasts or coaches

    My daughter is at TOPs B camp. I received a text from her when she arrived at the Houston airport. I sent her a text last night but didn't get a response until midnight Houston time that just said "Hey". I'm assuming that was just some sort of delay. Have any of you heard from your daughters...

    What it takes to be in the TOPS A Team and B Team

    My daughter qualified for national testing as a 9 yo and again as a 10 yo. She was certainly better prepared as a 10 yo missing B team cut-off by less than a point. But I am extremely proud of my daughter and feel she may be just as talented as those girls that made it. After many...

    Wow do I dare ask ...what really is TOPS and TOPS CAMPS?

    I know there are a lot of posts about TOPS and camps an scores etc....so many that I can't really get through them. It really seems to touch the heart and nerve of many and I just can't get a handle on why or what it really is. Correct me if I am wrong as this is what I have gathered thus far...

    TOPs or no TOPs that is the question

    Okay this will be the spin off from the TOPs camp thread for all those who wish to discuss, politely, the various ideas on TOPs. Please keep this discussion here, the other one was going too far off topic. So here are some questions to lead the discussion, answer any or all of them. Or even ask...

    TOPs B camp moved discussion from TOPs camp thread

    If there are declines to go to camp, does anyone know if they go down the list to fill the spots for B camp? I know at the parents' meeting at the ranch, Gary Warren said he'll need 70 in the B team to cover all expenses (i.e., fees of national coaches, travel, room and board, etc.) FYI: 9 yo...

    Tops camp

    Does anyone know what the cut off score was for A camp and what the begining score was for B camp? Also if your daughter makes it to A camp are the parents responsible fot the coaches or does the gym pick up the tab? This is new to us and we do not have a clue what to expect. Thank You!

    Please share your TOPs camps experiences

    Hello All, We just found out that our daughter just made B camp and we are debating on whether or not to send her. What my wife and I are really concerned about is what is the camp all about for B-campers? Specifically: 1. Are the coaches the same as the ones in A camp? The reason I ask is...
