General Information

Recreational Team League requires that the gymnast attend two practices per week on a regular basis.  Gymnasts will have the benefit of being part of a gymnastics team, including goal-setting skills, physical fitness and a competition leotard!  The gymnasts will compete in and be judged at in-house meets to be held 4 times each year.  Scores from the in-house meets will be used to determine the appropriate time for advancement to the next level (progression is Caterpillars to Butterflies to All-Stars).  Although there are no specific skill requirements to join the Recreational League, we recommend that children who have never done any form of gymnastics start in a beginner's recreational class to learn the basic skills before joining the league.  Returning ANSG class gymnasts will be placed by Coach Masha or Coach Meike.
