GOLDEN STATE GYMNASTICS

COMPETITIVE PROGRAM

GSG has several different options for athletes that wish to participate in the competitive arena.  We divide our competitive team into groups based on training hours and competitive levels.  The USAIGC Team consists of Levels 4 through beginning optional.  These athletes train fewer hours and days per week than what is considered traditional.  This allows the gymnasts to achieve their goals as competitive gymnasts without having to sacrifice too much in hours and days training.  The USAG Team are gymnasts in Levels 4-10/Elite.  They train 3-5 days a week depending on their level.  These athletes have a very high work ethic, are goal driven and demand high expectations of themselves and the people around them.  What's the difference between USAG and USAIGC?

Golden State Gymnastics is dedicated to providing a program that gives athletes the opportunity to shine in the sport of gymnastics.  This philosophy is apparent from the first day a gymnast begins training at our gym.  In this setting, the gymnast begins to train in a structured team environment.  She begins to compete at various meets including local, regional and national events.  Training with the team requires a solid dedication from the gymnast, as well as the parents and families of the athletes.

 

If a child wishes to pursue a competitive team training regime, they first have a formal consultation with the head team coach and will be invited to participate in several practices with team, after which they will have another consultation to determine, with the consent of the child, parents and head coach, if they will join the team.  

 

Some gymnasts already show the desire and ability to excel in gymnastics by a very young age.  To provide proper training, Golden State Gymnastics may invite these young athletes to join a developmental training group such as Firecrackers, Hotshots, or TOPS.  These developmental groups are based on various stages of progression.  The majority of the development in these groups is based on flexibility, strength, line shaping and technique.  By combining athletes of similar abilities and interests, coaches are able to provide a more intense training program than our recreational track.
