The USA Gymnastics' Elite Development Camps always see some great up-and-coming talent in attendance, and March’s event was no different. Present at the Stars Gymnastics Sports Centre in Katy, Texas were the likes of Alessia Rosa, Allie Cordes, Tiraia Ballard, Leah Higgins, and more.
This camp is a part of USA Gymnastics’ Elite Development Program, under which the federation supports talented gymnasts as well as coaches and helps them transition to elite-level training while encouraging enjoyment of the sport.
The camps see the participation of many promising youngsters from across the nation, as they receive guidance from National Team staff and clinicians. Gymnasts in attendance also get a chance to identify the start values of their routines, and other parts of their programs to help them grow as competitors.
