We want to ensure that both gymnasts and parents feel prepared and confident going into the try-out experience. Below, you'll find a step-by-step breakdown of what to expect on the day of the event-from arrival and evaluations to how results will be communicated.

Our goal is to create a positive and supportive environment where gymnasts can showcase their skills, coachability, and potential. If you have any questions along the way, we encourage you to participate in our Q&A session for parents during the event.

Here's everything you need to know about the try-out process:

The Developmental Team at Gravity Gymnastics is a selective, invitation-only program designed for young gymnasts who have demonstrated potential, talent, and a strong foundation in gymnastics. It serves as a bridge between recreational gymnastics and competitive gymnastics, providing athletes with the skills, discipline, and mindset necessary to progress toward our Competitive Team.
What to Tell Parents About the Developmental Team

Purpose:

The Developmental Team is designed to prepare gymnasts for more advanced training and potential entry into our Competitive Team. It focuses on building strong fundamentals, enhancing technical skills, and developing discipline and commitment required for higher-level gymnastics.

Training Structure

• Gymnasts will train twice per week and with higher expectations than in recreational classes.
• They will receive focused coaching on skill progression, strength training, flexibility, and technique refinement.
• Emphasis will be placed on cognitive abilities such as listening skills, focus, perseverance, and following instructions.

What Makes It Special?

• This is an exclusive, invitation-only opportunity, meaning your child has shown exceptional potential to be considered for this program.
• Gymnasts will participate in two In-House Competitions per year.
• Gymnasts in this program will be surrounded by like-minded athletes who are motivated, hardworking, and eager to improve.
• It fosters important life skills such as goal-setting, resilience, and time management.

Expectations

• While the Developmental Team is not yet a competitive team, it does require dedication and commitment beyond regular classes.
• Families should be prepared for increased training hours and a structured environment focused on growth and improvement.
• Selection for this team does not guarantee future placement on the Competitive Team, but it is the best pathway for gymnasts who aspire to compete in the future.
