GIRLS CO-OP Gymnastics National Training Center

GIRLS CO-OP National Training Center offers an extensive TOPs/Elite program . The program is designed to allow athletes who have the desire and talent to reach elite status the opportunity to do so. The TOP’s program is a Talent Opportunity Program sponsored by USA gymnastics and serves as a feeder program for elite gymnastics. It also serves as a “fast track” for young athletes to the international level of competition by enhancing skills and abilities needed for higher elite levels. GIRLS CO-OP has participated in this program since 1998 and has qualified National Team Members every year. In 2003 / 2004 CO-OP qualified 6 athletes to training camp making CO-OP the gym that had the highest number of athletes at National Training Camp in the Region. The focus of the TOPs program is strength, basics and flexibility.

As CO-OP’s TOPs athletes graduate into Elite status National Staff members are brought in on a regular basis to work with the athletes and coaches. This allows the athletes, coaches, and national staff to work closely together in the development of each athlete.
