Girls Pre Team

GOALS OF THE PRE-TEAM PROGRAM

The primary objective of the pre-team program is to provide your daughter with the necessary foundation to perform optional level (i.e. Levels 6-10) competitive gymnastics. The main focus will be on developing strength, flexibility, and reinforcing the proper body positions to perform complex gymnastics skills. By accomplishing this goal, most of the necessary skills for entry-level competition (currently level 3) will naturally fall into place. This process takes time. By building a strong foundation in the pre-team program, we are providing your daughter with the opportunity to reach her maximum potential with the fewest setbacks along the way. It becomes very frustrating for an optional level gymnast to have to go back to working simple skills because she is not progressing due to a lack of solid basics. Going slow at the beginning, leads to faster progress and better results later on.

Hot Shots - Our Young Girls Pre Team, for ages 4-8 years old, this is an invitation only class.  Kids must show the ability to perform basic gymnastics skills like handstands, cartwheels, and rolls, and also the ability to listen and follow instructions.  This is an hour and a half class instead of an hour.  This class is meant to get the children prepared to move up to the team. 

Super Stars - Our Older Girls Pre Team, for ages 8-14 years old, this is an invitation only class. Kids must show the ability to perform basic gymnastics skills like handstands, cartwheels, and rolls, and also the ability to listen and follow instructions. This is a two hour class instead of an hour long, and is meant to get the children prepared to move up to the team.

COMMITMENT

We consider pre-team to be a part of our team program and therefore expect the same level of commitment for both pre-team and team athletes. There are no make up classes at this level. We therefore expect that you make every effort to get your child to as many of her scheduled classes as possible and on time. We understand that there are family and school commitments that may prevent your child from attending every practice. We are supportive of this but hope that you schedule around practice times whenever possible.
