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 in to routines for competition. Team gymnasts will compete in gymnastics meets at a local, state, regional and national level.

A small team consists of 3-6 gymnasts and the top 3 scores on every event are added together to determine their team score. A large team consists of 7 or more gymnasts and the top 5 scores on every event are added together to determine their team score. These same rules are used in TGGA, TAAF, and USAG.
