Gymnastics is fun and fulfilling at all levels.  Whether you just did a forward roll for the first time, you’re nervous and on the way to your first competition, or you’re training to be best at the state meet.   Girls gymnastics develops fantastic strength, coordination, agility and to top it off grace within the young female athlete.  Competitive gymnastics does all of this and more.  Through the competitions and practices the girls earn pride and a large sense of accomplishment from their efforts.  The competitive gymnast trains year round to keep their bodies strong enough a quick enough for the sport of gymnastics.  Through these practices the girls become very close to their teammates and learn a lot about team work and team unity.  Being a competitive gymnastics teaches a lot about pushing yourself; setting goals, setting a path to your goals and doing what it takes to follow that path and achieve their goals.  Many upper level gymnasts and their parents have would agree that gymnastics helps even at school.  The athlete may be in the gym a lot but gymnastics teaches the athlete to become much better organized with their time.  The girls that take on competitive gymnastics (no matter how long their journey lasts) will know about poise, the ability to control their fears, and knowledge that they can accomplish anything in life.  After all if they can learn the determination to flip their bodies upside down and land feet first on a four inch beam then they can do anything.

The Women’s team competes four different disciplines of gymnastics:
(In Olympic Order)

• Vault – The Vault is a power exercise using a spring board to propel the gymnasts up and over the vaulting table at which time the gymnast will perform one of many different vaults.
   
• Uneven Bars - The Uneven Bars are all about circling, swinging and the ability to hit the handstand positions.  The more advanced athletes will swing from bar to bar doing release moves – letting go of the bar, performing a move in the air, then catching the bar.
   
• Balance Beam – The Balance Beam is 16ft 3in long and only 4 inches wide, which makes for a fairly difficult piece of equipment to defy gravity and stay on.  The gymnasts’ beam routine consists of dance elements and acro or flipping elements.
   
• Floor Exercise- The Floor exercise takes place on a 40ft x 40ft padded, carpeted and spring loaded floor where the gymnasts performs tumbling, acrobatic and dance skills in their routine.  For the girls’ the floor exercise demonstrates power, flexibility and grace.
