ABOUT OUR TEAM 

Our team program is divided into three sub-programs: Recreational Girls’ Team; Competitive Girls’ Team; and our Pre-Team (Rocket Power) Team.  The basic distinction between our Recreational Team and our Competitive Team is the purpose of the Athlete’s involvement.  Our Recreational Program serves the athlete that is just entering the competitive scene and therefore needs exposure to what competing in gymnastics really is before making a more serious commitment; or the athlete that wants to be involved in gymnastics competitions but at a more recreational level with less competitions per season (typically 5), in more laid back environments, and fewer training hours (currently 5 hours p/ week).  The meets they attend are local, mostly within one hour to one hour and a half driving time and the registration fees are low.  We feel that for the introductory or recreational athlete we should keep the meet and travel expenses to a minimum for the ease of their and their families participation.

Our Competitive Team is for the Athlete that has decided she wishes to be more serious about the sport of gymnastics and is therefore willing to commit more hours to training in the gym (a minimum of 12 hours p/ week) and to attend more meets throughout the season.  Including meets that may require more extensive travel, overnight stays, and higher registration fees.  Athletes on our competitive team are expected to attend all scheduled practices and competitions.  Any time a practice will be missed, the coach should be informed ahead of time.  If there is any conflict with a scheduled competition, the parent must talk with the coach before the registration fee is due, so that a joint decision may be made about the athlete’s participation in that competition.  All meets are mandatory for the competitive athlete unless excused by the head coach.  We average 8 meets plus the State Championships, and Regional’s and beyond for the higher levels.
