Women Elite Question

[Deleted member 30712]

Hey!
A quick question:
Can a junior in High school (me) be an elite level like not L10 but beyond that in high school?

You'd have to qualify elite... but "yes" you can be an elite in high school. You can't compete elite for your high school... you'd need a private coach.

From the wording of your question, I’m going to say no. It doesn’t sound like you are familiar with the levels or elite training.

Ok, thanks!
Because I didn't know if I could be an elite gymnast in high school.

Um... Yes as long as you can find a gym that can train you at that level, agree with @bookworm though. But if your talking about high school gymnastics, most high school gyms do excel platinum or diamond.

Actually, it depends on your state. I know that both Ohio and Indiana use a modified Level 8 (with high school bonus) ... meaning they aren't limited to Level 8 skill level restrictions.

That is why I go to a separate building for elite level gymnasts but also includes Levels 1-10. ;-)

Gonna be honest: if you're a junior in high school and asking whether it's possible for you to go elite, the real-world answer is no. If you were on an elite trajectory, you'd know it by now.

There's nothing wrong with doing lower-level gymnastics for fun and fitness, and you're never ever too old to do that!
