Women's Team Trainees
Team Recruits
This twice a week 55 minute invitation only class is for students 4-7 years old that train for competitive gymnastics. This class begins with a coordination-based warm up and followed by a advanced stretch. This class refines what was taught in Preschool & Class 1 and begins the training for more advanced skills. The major difference from the Recreational Program is the emphasis on form, strength, and the assumption that Team is the end goal.
​
On Floor they will refine skills like Handstands, Forward Rolls, Backward Rolls, and Cartwheels. They will begin shaping for Back Handsprings and train flexibility skills like Bridge Kickovers.

Vault will start the journey of teaching them how to soar. Basic Dive Rolls, Punch to Handstands and more start here.
