One of Norah's sisters, Anna, was a competitive gymnast, and at the age of four, Norah wanted to join her. Thus, she enrolled in gymnastics classes at Salto Gymnastics in Wisconsin. Naturally gifted, Flatley made both the 2007 and 2009 National TOPs teams. In 2010, Flatley was both Level 8 State (WI) and Regional (4) champion for her age category. In the summer of 2010, her family relocated to Cumming, Iowa, in order for Norah to train under the tutelage of Liang Chow, the former coach of 2008 Olympic balance beam champion Shawn Johnson. A year later, in 2011, she was crowned Level 9 Regional Champion. At her first Level 9 Western Championships – at the age of eleven, Flatley was crowned the individual champion in the all-around, on beam and floor.

However, she won the balance beam title with a score of 9.725.

At the National Championships, Norah accumulated a two-day all-around score of 112.400, managing 5th place all-around.
