CORE is a USAG Member Club, and competes the USAG Women's Development Program Compulsory levels 2 through 5, and Optional levels 6-10. Gymnastics progress is not the same as scholastic progress- you do not automatically move into the next level the same way you would move up to the next grade in school. Gymnasts should expect to spend 1-2 years per Compulsory levels, and 1-3 years per Optional levels, and are required to have all of their next level skills and/or the approval of their coaches in order to move up to the next level. In other words- at the end of a competitive season, gymnasts should expect to remain in their same level until they have been told they are moving up to the next level.

​

Pre-team- Our Pre-team class is a team-track group, ages 4-8, working towards making the competitive team. This class is only for athletes serious about a gymnastics future. All students in our recreational classes are looked at for the Pre-team, and will need to be recommended for the Pre-team by their class instructors, and then evaluated by a team coach. We are looking for a variety of characteristics in order to be eligible for the Pre-team including, but not limited to, above-average strength, flexibility, listening skills, ability to focus, lack of fear, willingness to take risks, work-ethic and basic gymnastics skills. Gymnasts must pass a strength and skills test, or have permission from the team coaches, before they move up to the competitive team.

 

Compulsory Level 2- Our Level 2 team is made up of rising Pre-teamers, ages 5-8. Athletes in this level typically compete from September through December, and will compete in 4-5 meets before their State Meet.
