The USA Gymnastics Elite Development Program is designed to identify talent and introduce younger athletes and coaches to Elite training and competition, developing skills and techniques while fostering enjoyment of the sport.
USA Gymnastics JumpStart is designed to lead into the Elite Program, bridging the gap from the Development Program. Younger athletes competing within the Development Program and their personal coaches are identified through national competition and testing, and introduced to the Elite Program at an annual national training camp.
See the 2021-2024 Elite Program Pathway Overview for more information on the Elite and Elite Development pathway.
