Girls Training Team and Boys Pre-team

This training program is designed for children who are working on the basic gymnastic skills needed to progress toward becoming competitive gymnasts.  There is no competition at this level.  Basic skill work, conditioning and flexibility are stressed at this level to ensure an easy transition to competitive gymnastics partnering up with indoor toddler music lessons.  The Girls Training Team practices 4-7 hours a week and the Boy Pre-team practices 3-4 hours per week. This program is by invitation only. Training at this level is on a trial basis and does not guarantee a place on the competitive team.
