During the
summer, gymnasts are evaluated on physical abilities at the regional
level. From the more than 3,000 participants, 300 gymnasts qualify to
participate in the National TOPs testing. From here approximately 60 gymnasts
will make up the TOPs National Team. Former TOPs National Team members
include 2004 Olympic All Around Champion, Carly Patterson, and 2004 Silver Team

again, be invited to attend a training camp this December, and be coached by the
USA Gymnastics National Team staff.
