TOPs (Talent Opportunity Program), is a talent search and educational program started by USA Gymnastics to help encourage, educate, and identify talented young athletes and coaches throughout the country.
During the months of June and July, gymnasts ages 7-11 are evaluated on physical abilities at the state or regional level. From there, athletes are invited to participate in the National TOPs 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. Some athletes are then selected to participate in the National TOP Training camp which takes place in December of each year.
At 5280, we invite USAG gymnasts to train for the TOPs program based on certain strength, flexibility, and age requirements. We hold a regular supplemental class for these students. If you or your gymnast is interested in the program, please discuss the possibility with your coach. You may also contact our gym manager at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
