Gymnastics Team
Our Gymnastics Team offers great opportunities to excel in an exciting and dynamic sport in a safe, enthusiastic, and motivating environment. Gymnasts are introduced to competition when it is appropriate for them physically and mentally.

Our goal is to make the sport of gymnastics a fun, safe, and positive activity for athletes in a positive and challenging environment by experienced, skilled and professional coaches. |
Team Levels
New! Level 1
Now we have a place for our younger beginners to grow and learn on our gymnastics team. As these younger gymnasts with less experience gain gymnastics skills, they are also gaining other social and cooperation skills. These young athletes are allowed to compete at our 2 home meets if they wish, as well as the performace events.
Level 2
Because we want to have a place for everyone on our team, we are now accepting level 2 gymnasts. Just like the upper levels of our team we stress learning basics first for safe skill progressions. These young athletes compete in 2 home meets and 2 away meets so that they can get a taste of competing with less intensity.
Level 3
This is the introductory level of our gymnastics team. These gymnasts learn the routines, and are a part of all events. For athletes on the Travel Team, this is the first year of competition and is always organized by age groups to ensure success for all.
Level 4+
The upper levels of gymnastics team (4 - 8) are learning and competing at a higher skill level. They also travel to competitions outside our Western Area League. Home Team This year we have decided to add a new section to our team. The Home Team learns the same skills and routines as the Travel Team, however by the gymnast’s or the coach’s decision they do not compete.
Home Team
Athletes still participate in all other team activities. Any level may opt to be part of the Home Team. This will create a space for those athletes who need to focus on skill development without the pressure of competition. The practice schedule will be the same as the regular team, so the cost is the same as a travel team gymnast.
