preteam

I'm so excited for my daughter. The gym she's going to is starting up a new pre-team group in April and she gets to be a part of it! It's going to be a Level 1 group of girls and they're all right around 4 1/2 years old. I think there will only be 4-5 girls in the group, at least initially...

I am starting to teach my 5 and 6 year old pre team girls handstand on beam and just need some ideas on teaching them proper step out position. So far, we do front support holds on low/med/high beams to understand hand positioning and balance. That is all we have really done so far. This is a...

I'm running out of ideas for things to do with pre-team on beam. They're really only level 2/3 although we try to work some level 4 skills too. Any creative ideas?

My 5 year old son was moved to pre-team this fall, and he has almost all of the skills needed to move to level 4 next fall but his flexibility is noticably behind his teammates. I'm trying to get him to stretch at home on the days he doesn't have gym, but I'm afraid my efforts are going to...

Hi, I'm just wondering. If you have a pre-team at your gym, what sorts of skills do they do? At our gym, there are two groups in our pre-team. The less advanced group does pretty much the level 3 routines, and the higher group does the level 4 routines, without some of the harder skills if they...

We knew it was coming but I was SHOCKED when we were asked if we would consider moving Rylee to fast tracks NOW! Fast tracks is pre-team for younger girls (6y/o, 7y/o, 8y/o)! Team starts at level 4 at our gym. Rylee though is 3.5 years old. LOL! She is obsessed with doing gymnastics and is...

okay folksy wolksys...here i go again..with another of my highly skilled posts. my daughter has been doing gymnastics since she was about 2 1/2..she turned 4 in Aug...well sadly we have moved twice in that time...so she has been in three different gyms in her 1 1/2 yrs...(first 1/2 yr was...

Hello all I am brand new to this! J did some tumbling (on a team) and is 6. She is interested in learning more "gymnastics" so we went and had her evaluated at a gym. They placed her with their "preteam" My questions is this? Last night was her first night and there are 30 kids in the class. It...

I just wanted to share this with others who would understand because my family (with the exception of my husband) and friends really don't "get" it. My 3 year old daughter has been doing gymnastics since April. There are 3 preschool level classes that they're in until they're 5 (I think) and...

So on Saturday, my 5 yo DD's rec coach took me aside before class and said she has spoken to the girls' pre-team coach and has cleared the way for DD to join, if we are interested that is. The pre-team class is once a week for 1.5 hours long on Wednesday nights. Already DD goes to two...

So after practice tonight one of the other moms grabs me to the side to relay an "incident" that took place at the gym that I apparently missed. The gym is closing for two weeks during Christmas so they have been scheduling make ups for the girls. Since my gymmie couldn't make it to the preteam...

My 6 year old has been taking a gymnastics class for about 4 months now. There are only like 2 or 3 kids in his class so they get a lot of one on one attention from the coach. My question is this: Are there the same levels for boys as there are for the girls? And since they have 6 events instead...

Hello! My daughter is finishing up her cheerleading season in about a week and she will be switching over to competitive gymnastics. She is very excited and looking forward to working with the Pre-Teamers in hopes of being able to compete at Level 4 in the Fall/Winter new season. She has been...
