    My 5.5 year old daughter just began pre-team (4 hours per week) this September. The majority of the girls in her group are 8-9 years old.

    TOPs Under 7 years old?

    Has anyone ever heard of gymnasts under the age of 7 doing the TOPs program? I understand they can not test but are they allowed to train at 5 years old? What is Baby TOPs? Is it for gymnasts not on a team or for gymnast under the age of 7 years old or for both?
