Pre-team names?

[gymcoach2]

Any ideas for a name for a pre team group of 5- & 6-year-olds?

My dd team uses the competition team name with tiny and mini in front of it.

The pre team group at DD's gym is referred to as the "hot shots".

 

[B Gymnast]

Ours is called training team.

We have different pre-teams based on age. Twisters, flippers, aerials.

We have one group called the Cherries and one called the Oranges and one called the Bananas, I believe. It used to be Pink, Orange, and Purple. Then for a while there were butterflies involved...? Yeah.

If you're looking at just 5 and 6 year olds, it would be devos, for developemental. If they were 7 and 8, you could use J.E.T.s for Junior Elite Training. If they were 4 year olds, I'd favor a name like Hotshots. And if they get any younger you could call them C.O.M.E.T.s for Child Or Mom Elite Training.

When I was on pre team we were called the "tiny twisters"

We just call them preteam. Cutesy names are cute, but confusing (which is higher-Butterflies or Bees? I have no idea either), & late bloomers who are obviously not tiny (at least by gymnastics standards) would not appreciate being on, like "miniteam" or whatever.
