Overview of Developmental Gymnastics

The developmental program is based upon the level and skill breakdown set by USA Gymnastics, to ensure the proper progressions based on level of experience to ensure a safe, fun, and rewarding experience at Elite Energy Gymnastics. Our  developmental program is designed as a progressive program for girls & boys ages five and up.  The girls perform on all four Olympic events:  vault, bars, beam, and floor.  The boys perform on all six Olympic events; rings, pommel horse, floor, vault, parallel bars and high bar. Both will use the tumble trac and trampoline.  We followed USA Gymnastics Junior Olympic guidelines in developing our program at each level.  In each level, the gymnasts have a list of skills on each event to master.  Once they have mastered these skills they will move up to the next level.  The program allows the gymnasts to have a goal and to work at their own pace.  At the end of each session (Fall, Winter, Spring & Summer) the children are evaluated so they can be moved up, or can identify exactly what skills they need to work on so they can move up.  At the end of Spring Session, all the developmental gymnasts will learn routines on each event and are invited to attend our annual “Exhibition of Excellence.”  The gymnasts get to show off their routines for family and friends, and receive a medal.  Each year boasts a new fun theme for the exhibition!  As always, we offer free trial classes for first time students!
