Athens Clarke Gymnastics Academy Advance Progressive Gymnastics

This is not a competitive team. Athens Clarke Gymnastics Academy’s Advance Progressive Gymnastics is a Rec League program that is designed to challenge students beyond the recreational classes and prepare others for competitive gymnastics should they desire to do so. Girls will learn skills and routines on all four events (vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise). There may be an opportunity for the gymnasts to perform these routines in a special competition (once per school year) where they will be judged and given scores. This is a fantastic way for our gymnasts to be able to compete!

Gymnasts entering into our Rec League class for 4 and 5 year old must have previous gymnastics experience and receive a recommendation from their instructor prior to participating in these classes. The Rec League classes for 6 years and older, require a recommendation from an instructor along with an evaluation before the gymnasts will be allowed to register for these classes.Classes meet two days per week and last 55 minutes to one hour and 25 minutes depending on the class level.

Commitment

Participants are committed for the length of one session. Competitions are held at Athens Clarke Gymnastics Academy located in the Bishop Park Gym once per school year. Gymnasts are enrolled in an age group based on their age as of September 1 of that school year.

If you feel your daughter is ready for more of a challenge, this program is for her. Evaluations are held twice per year. Once during the fall and once during the spring. The evaluation day is not a drop-in day. Your daughter must either be recommended by her instructor, or if she is not currently enrolled in our program, you must call and reserve a spot for her in advance. Only those students who wish to be considered for either our Rec League program or our competitive teams should attend the evaluation. We have provided our Advance Progressive Gymnastics Frequently Asked Questions for your review.
