The NGA Competitive Program
This program is for athletes who enjoy competing in gymnastics, but also enjoy other sports and activities that may prevent them from training several hours per week. Our NGA program provides a healthy balance of training allowing for life outside of the gym. Each level in the NGA program has specific requirements that must be met doing an optional routine. Our routines are professionally choreographed ensuring presentation and skill requirements. For more information on our competitive program please email
Mobility
For the Girls Team the process of moving from one level to the next is done by first, scoring out of the current level. The second part is being able to perform all of the skills needed for the next level. The third part is conditioning and flexibility testing. As the gymnast performs more complex skills it is important that their overall fitness improves to maintain their health and safety. Finally their work ethic and maturity must also be appropriate for the upcoming level.
Competitive Team Financial Policies
Your Family’s Commitment
The parents’ role in your child’s success in gymnastics is very important. The commitment you make is just as great as your child’s. The hardest task facing a gymnast’s parent is providing the right amount of support. Getting too involved or not enough can put undue stress on your child. Leave the coaching to the coaches. Be positive in your comments on attitude, behavior and work habits. Encourage improvement, hard work and perseverance. Most of all get your gymnast to practices regularly and on time. A parent observing practice on a regular basis is not encouraged. You can watch occasionally or come in early near the end of practice. Then the progress your child is making will be more evident verses the corrections made on a daily basis. We do encourage you to talk to your child about practice and if you have any questions or concerns feel free to talk to their coach or myself. In closing, we understand what a tough decision this can be. Please keep in mind that beyond the physical and mental discipline your child will continue to develop, there are lifelong friendships to be found in this sport. The maturity it takes to expect 100% from themselves and their teammates, learning to perform under pressure for the sake of the team, staying positive in the face of disappointment and summoning emotional strength to encourage other teammates in need.
