What is Gymnastics League?
The philosophy at Spokane Gymnastics is to offer an exceptional experience for every child; from preschoolers learning the fundamentals, to "playground heroes" showing off cartwheels at recess, to elite competitive gymnasts. With that goal in mind we are excited to once again offer a program that allows recreational gymnasts the opportunity to experience competitive gymnastics and be a part of a team.
With Gymnastics League, Spokane Gymnastics offers three in-house meets where gymnasts learn routines and perform on all Olympic events (Boys: Floor Exercise, Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars and High Bar; Girls: Vault, Bars, Beam and Floor Exercise).
Gymnasts enrolled in a level 2&3 class or higher are eligible to participate.
Gymnasts will be assigned to a team and perform individually, receiving a score for each event and the total of those scores compile the team overall score. Since the teams compete as a group, and are not ranked as individuals, this helps remove most of the jitters and Gymnastics League offers an encouraging and positive experience for all who participate.
Gymnasts who take part in Gymnastics League will learn their routines during regular classes plus we offer an optional weekly practice coached by a rotation of Spokane Gymnastics intermediate level instructors on Fridays from 5:30pm – 6:30pm from January 6 – March 23, 2012. Each additional practice costs $10.00 and does not require pre-registration.
Competitions:
Family members and friends are encouraged to come and support their gymnasts and there is no admission for spectators of League Gymnastics! At the conclusion of the meet athletes will be given their individual scores, plus ribbons and everyone receives a wonderful learning experience.
