My gymnast is 9 years old (almost 10), competing at Level 8 (training at Level 9/10), and on the elite path at her gym. We are considering a gym change to one with an established elite program. We are willing to relocate and are aware that the elite path is hard and requires a commitment from the whole family.
After all the drama with a big elite gym closing, I have to wonder if there are any good elite gyms. I have a long list of gyms that currently produce Hopes/elite gymnasts, but I don’t have inside knowledge of their training culture. Any parents of Hopes/elite gymnasts, do you have advice on which gyms or coaches to consider or stay away from? If this were you, where would your child train and with which coach (since some gyms have different groups and coaches)? Thanks for the help.
