The First State Gymnastics Team Program wishes to allow each competitive gymnast the opportunity to excel and aspire to the greatest individual degree in the sport of gymnastics. Competitive gymnastics develops physical, mental, and emotional control which is beyond that rationally envisioned. The gymnast will develop strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance through the program. Other benefits of competitive training are: self-satisfaction, kinesthetic awareness, a healthy body and a disciplined approach to one's life.
Competition is an essential part of the gymnast's experiences in the program. Each gymnast will be involved in competition in accordance with her ability and age. The gymnasts will have the opportunity to advance in a step-by-step progression to higher competitive levels.
Goals of the Team Program:
- To foster the growth and development of each gymnast by setting realistic goals. - To provide opportunities for national and international travel through competitive experiences. - To provide opportunities for a gymnasts to achieve a level of proficiency that would allow them to receive a college scholarship.
