Women's Entry Level Team Program
This Kokomotion Program competes under the National Gymnastics Association (NGA) at levels 1 through level 5 & USA Gymnastics (USAG) Bronze Through Gold. We feel that the lower NGA levels & USAG Xcel system is more productive, more progressive, and more fun. The USA Gymnastics (USAG) compulsory levels program tends to hold gymnasts back. By coupling both the USAG Xcel & NGA Levels program we maximize their opportunities to compete. It will enhance the variety and entertainment of both gymnast and parent, making a happier training and competition environment.
​
Families are financially responsible for Monthly Tuition, Meet Entries, and Travel Expenses of the coach working the meet. The Meet Entries and Travel Expenses will be dealt with through a monthly "Competition Fee" that spreads the expense over 8 months.
​
Competition Team is by invitation or by tryout. If you are former or current competitive gymnast looking to train with us, give us a call to set up a trial time.
