Iowa Gym-Nest trains the TOPs program in conjunction to the traditional Junior Olympic Program. Gymnasts in the Talented and Gifted Class (TAG), Prep Team, and JO team can choose to attend additional practices to work on the TOPs strength, flexibility, and skills. Athletes who reach certain standards will be invited to participate in the TOPs Regional Testing which take place in June and July. Those who score high enough will be invited to travel to the USAG National Team Training Center to compete in the National TOPs testing. The highest scoring 8, 9, and 10 year olds are named to the USAG National Team. They earn an all-expense paid training camp at the National Team Training Center. 7 year olds who score high enough at the Regional Testing are named to the Diamond Team. Coaches of Diamond Team athletes travel to the training camp to learn the latest techniques for gymnastics skills. Iowa Gym-Nest is the only club in the area that has qualified athletes and coaches to attend this prestigious training camp. This provides our coaches with the opportunity to work along side and train with the USA Gymnastics National Team Coaching Staff.

Iowa Gym-Nest has had several Elite athletes from 1984-1993. IGN made the decision to step back from competing in the Elite Program for the next 15 years. Currently, IGN has three athletes training in the Elite Program and many others training in the TOPs program to pursue their goals of achieving Elite status.
