Junior Olympic Teams

Visit our Team Page for more information.

The primary goal for our Junior Olympic teams is to provide on-going training and competitions for gymnastics at a much higher skill level than recreational classes. Not all gymnasts may be ready to take on the responsibility or make the commitment. Our hope is that we give you all the information necessary to be able to make the decision.
