Enrollment/General Questions

What is the difference between a recreational class and Team?

A recreational class is an hour long class that meets once a week. Team, depending on the level, meets from 2-25 hours per week. In Team, the child will not only learn and perfect skills, but will put those skills into routines for competition. Team gymnasts, depending on the level, will compete in gymnastics meets at a local, state, regional and national level.

What are the Team philosophies of ASI Gymnastics?

The Team ASI Gymnastics Program is designed to provide the best athletic development with focused training in a positive environment. We believe that hard work and dedication build a solid foundation for your child’s gymnastics career and future endeavors. Through focused rotations and a strong foundation of physical fitness developed through skill training and consistent strength and conditioning, boys will be challenged in each practice to improve and learn while having fun.

When are evaluations to move up a level in Team?

Level promotion is based on skill mastery. Once boys have mastered the skills in the Boys Gold recreational program, they are ready to enter into Boys Team Level 3.  Once they are in team, the coach has a skill sheet for the next level that the boys work to complete.  All levels are final August 31st to prepare for the competitive season.

When can I join the Team program?

Should I order grips for my child? If so, how do I do this?

Unless your coach has recommended that your child needs grips, you do not need to order them. Grips are not for protecting your child’s hands from ripping, they are used for gripping the bar during swings. You should speak to your child’s coach before purchasing any type of grips. There are many different websites that sell grips and offer a sizing chart to determine the correct size. When you receive the grips do not open the package until your child’s coach can double check they are the right size.
