The Girls and Boys Competitive Teams start with
a promotion to the Developmental Teams. Students are promoted to this
level because of their work ethics, mental readiness, strength and flexibility,
above average gymnastics skills, and their desire to do more in the sport of
gymnastics. Developmental classes are 1 or 2 days a week, 1½ - 2½ hours
per day.
The lower level teams
compete within the state and higher
level teams travel within the United
States with 3-4 competitions outside of
Florida. As a gymnast progresses
through the levels more time is
required. Team requires a commitment in time and
money for both the gymnast and their
family. Our gymnasts Level 9
through Elite receive scholarships for
their college education. Due to
our reputation for producing excellent
competitive gymnasts, most colleges
track our gymnasts, both boys and girls,
start their recruiting processes early
to secure an Orlando Metro gymnast for
their college team.
