Pre-Team
Pre-Team is still considered a recreational gymnastics class but gymnasts must receive a referral from their previous instructors/coaches in order to tryout. Referrals are given to students who demonstrate a mastery of the lower level gymnastics skills on all events, a drive to improve, a dream to compete and/or great potential within the sport of gymnastics. Pre-Team has more practice time and the opportunity to participate in a couple non-sanctioned meets. The goal for this class is to prepare the girls for Xcel competition team by focusing more on physical fitness and skill development.
