Age breakdown for TOPS for this upcoming season: 

For this year athletes born in 2014 = 10 year olds, athletes born in 2015 = 9 year olds and athletes born in 2016 = 8 year olds Coordinated with the elite age calendar. 

Virtual Physical abilities testing dates:

October 21 

November 11 

These are all Saturdays. There will be 4 testings each day all EST: 9AM, 11AM, 2PM and 4PM. There will be a maximum of 60 athletes per session to help the testing stay within the 2 hour time frame. All sanctions are open and available now for registration. Sanctions will close the Monday before the testing. 

Change to the Physical Abilities tests: Flexibility has been removed from the virtual physical abilities in the fall, they will be testing it at National Testing but it will be different than the flexibility from the previous year. They are working on a video to put up on the website. 

 How do I host a TOPS session at my competition and what all do I need to do in order to host one? Shelby, USAG Women's Elite Development Director, is working on updating the FAQ/Quick facts sheet with the form that needs to be filled out to request this along with additional information. She says it's coming soon and I will forward it when I get it.

Again, if you are planning on TOPS testing this year please let me know so I can keep you informed as I receive info from the national office. 

And if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out! drew.grow@gmail.com
