Team Philosophy
River City Gymnastics trains female gymnasts from beginning to elite levels.  We have named our teams in an effort to take the focus off of the competitive levels and place it more on the gymnastics skills. Preteam and beginning levels participate in 'fun meets', intermediate and advanced compulsory levels compete with AGA, and the advanced optionals team competes in USAG.  We pride ourselves on creating a fun training environment, while at the same time teaching proper discipline and respect so that each athlete can be successful both on the spring floor and off.  Levels the girls will compete will be based on the skills that they have MASTERED.  Evaluations take place in late June for competitions starting in August.

Prep Teams, Level 1
These are fundamental levels. Gymnasts will learn the necessary skills and/or routines that will direct them towards the AGA program.

Beginning through Advanced Compulsories, AGA
Levels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6
All competitors compete optional routines. Rules, requirements and difficulty are increased from Junior Prep to Senior Elite. Mobility is based on All Around scores, not age group. Because of this, most gymnasts move up several levels during the year and are constantly in meets against gymnasts who are at the same skill and score level. It makes for a competitive and fun environment where everyone has a chance to receive awards.

Optionals, USAG
Levels 7, 8, 9, and 10
These levels are included in the USAG Junior Olympic program. These are the highest levels of competition without entering the Elite program. All these levels have individual routines and allow for a lot of personal creativity, while adding more difficult valued skills.

Please note that our team program is by invitation only. All new team members are required to have a one week evaluation scheduled by appointment at the discretion of the head coach. Please call for more information.
