Gymnastics Team Development
Junior Patriots (Levels 1 - 3):
Junior Patriots represent our Pre-Team gymnasts, girls who are on track to particiate on the competitive team. These gymnasts receive more structured, in-depth training than what is offered in the recreational classes. Level 1 and 2 gymnasts have the opportunity to participate in a few local fun meets. In addition to the fun meets, Level 3 gymnasts participate in a few sanctioned competitions. These meets provide an opportunity for our Pre-Team gymnasts to experience what it will be like to compete in a real meet. Junior Patriots are instructor recommendation ONLY. Children in recreational classes who display team potential are often recommended to move to the Junior Patriots.
Patriots (Levels 4 - 8) :
The Patriots are comprised of the WISC competitive gymnastics team. Beginning at Level 4, gymnasts participate in USA Gymnastics sanctioned competitions in Hampton Roads, as well as a couple others both in and out of state. As gymnsts progress through the levels, the practice schedules and skills become more intense. Gymnasts progress through USA Gymnastics compulsorys at Levels 4 - 6 and optionals at Levels 7 - 8. Placement on the Patriots Team is by coach recommendation only.
Prep-Optional (Levels 6 - 8):
This team is designed specially for gymnasts who have competed in Levels 4 and 5 but do not want to continue on with the full-time committment of being a Patriot. This team gives gymnasts the opportunity to continue to compete, but participation involves less intense schedules and practices.
