ELITE TRACK
USA Gymnastics TOPs program (ages 4 – 10)
Gymnasts in the TOPS program train 15-18 hr/week in a low coach to student ratio of no more than 6 kids with 1 coach. They progress at an rapid pace, expected to have elite level skills by the age of 10. There are only a handful of students or less each year that are able to keep up with the demands of this program but the prestige and rewards that come from this level of training is unimaginable. Being such a young age group, this program at Tumblebees is created to be a fun & enjoyable experience for the athletes participating.
USA Gymnastics Jr. & Sr. Elite Program (ages 10 – 18)
Following the TOPS program, athletes will progress to the Junior, and then Senior, Elite program. Here, they are typically home schooled and training over 30 hours a week, perfecting their elite level skills with the hope of attain a spot on the Women’s National Team, Olympic Team, or Division 1 College Team.
