TEAMS

Gymnastic World Naples is home to one of the most highly respected and well
recognized competitive gymnastic team programs in Southwest Florida.  We are
affiliated with both USA Gymnastics and AAU Gymnastics clubs.  We pride ourselves in
our close attention to detail and impeccable form in the routines we present at
competitions.  We hold our students to high standards of performance levels, because
we believe that each student should always strive to compete at their highest level of
potential.  Our current competitive teams practice between 9 and 14 hours a week, and
their hard work is rewarded by the multiple trophies, ribbons, and banners they bring
back from each competition.  All levels and competitive teams are by invitation and the
criterion is based on physical, mental, and behavioral evaluations.

Level 1 - 3

In levels 1 through 3 students develop the key essential building blocks for their future
gymnastic careers.  These levels are non-competition based.  Promotion through each
level is at the discretion of their current coach and is determined by the mastering of
specific skill sets on each event.  The goal of these lower levels is to gain strength and
flexibility; body awareness; knowledge and understanding of basic skills on each event;
while still having fun and making friends in the process!

Developmental Pre-Team

Developmental Pre-Team is a preparation level that is geared towards preparing
gymnasts for all the physical and mental requirements that a competitive gymnasts
needs.  In these classes we dedicate a considerable amount of time conditioning,
through cardio, strength, and flexibility training, along with paying extremely close
attention to proper body alignment and form in all basic gymnastic skills.  Once the
coach decides a student has reached certain requirements in physical fitness, skill
understanding, and mental maturity, they will be promoted to our competitive team
program.

Level 4 - 6

Level 4 is the first level at which your gymnast will be entered in to competition.
Competitive gymnasts will perform routines on the Floor, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam
and Vault. Levels 4, 5, and 6 are Compulsory Levels.  At these levels, all gymnasts are
taught the same skills and routines designated by the USAG Compulsory Handbook.  
Because all gymnasts each level will be presenting the mandated identical routines at
competition, it is the close attention to detail and form that our team coaches
emphasize here at Gymnastic World Naples that makes our students stand out and win
awards!  

Level 7 & Up

Once a student is promoted to Level 7 they enter in to the next category of gymnastics
known as “Optionals”.  While at each level certain skills are required, the routines
themselves are put together and taught by their coach.  In these levels, gymnasts have
the ability to let their personalities shine a little more in their routines with the new
freedom that comes with Optionals.  While achieving the necessary skills at these
advanced levels is very difficult, with a lot of hard work and dedication, gymnasts may
eventually be able to obtain a College Scholarship!
