Different Tracks in gymnastics?

[gymcritter]

OK I"m a bit confused. I always thought that most kiddos go through the USAG track of going through level ten then you can test for elite.. But a few parents at gym have asked if my dd will now be on the elite track.. (I guess because she's done well in TOPS) But, I'm not sure if that is something different? I guess i'm just confused as the progresion? should she be in a different track then the normal usag levels?

Thats what I figured but I got confused when asked if she was on the elite track.. Thanks!

At our gym, I believe the elite track means two-a-day practices and therefore some sort of alternative schooling.

Does your gym have a group of girls that they are fast tracking to elite? Or could the parents just be wondering if your daughter wants to work towards elite?

well our coach wanted our dd to do alternative school but the girls who do actually go one hour less a week and are just different levels from 4-5 that happen to be homeschooled or go to charter school i think they did it for class size more so.. I"m not sure about a fast track...
