TOPs (Talent Opportunity Program), is a talent search and educational program for female gymnast ages 7-11 and their coaches. During the months of June and July gymnasts age 7-11 are evaluated on physical abilities at the state or regional level. These dates are set by your regional TOP manager in conjunction with your National Elite Program Chair. From there, athletes are invited to participate in the National TOP test that is conducted in the month of October where they will be evaluated on the same physical abilities tests along with some basic gymnastics skills. Athletes are then invited to participate in the National TOP Training camp which takes place in December of each year.
Twisters is looking for competitive athletes between the ages of 6 and 11 (Levels 4-7) to be a part of our TOPs team in conjunction with the competitive team. We plan to go to the testing held this summer (location and date TBA). This program is a lot of hard work and a lot of conditioning. It is great if you just want to have your gymnast get stronger and have more conditioning or if you want your gymnast to be nationally tested. We will be providing three hours in the schedule for TOPs from which you can choose. Due to the different levels of gymnasts participating, we have scattered the days and times. If you are interested in this program and your gymnast is already here practicing, you can see Carmella to work out any scheduling difficulties.
