p Gymnastics Pre-Team Programs Sanford Academy's Pre-Team Programs are classes designed to introduce children to competitive gymnastics. These classes are great way for your child to experience a team setting, in a higher motivated atmosphere. Each December, Sanford Academy holds an "in house" meet where our "pre-team" athletes can experience a competition setting. Once your athlete has gained the skills and strength necessary to be on the competitive team, they will then have that option. Tiger Paws Select: Tiger Paw select is our "pre-team" for our 4 and 5 year olds. This class is designed for kids who show an early interest and ability in the sport of gymnastics. Classes are on Mondays and Wednesdays for 4:00PM to 5:30PM and a special leotard is worn to distinguish our little gymnasts from the recreational classes. Hot Shots: Hot Shots is our "pre-team" for our athletes ages 6 and older. This class is designed to introduce our older athletes to competitive gymnastics. This a great introduction for any child who has an interest in competitive gymnastics and is ready for something more challenging than our recreational classes. |

| Sanford Academy will compete using USAG’s Junior Olympic Program and NC PREP Optional Program. We will Compete J.O. Levels 3-Elite and Rookie, PREP novice and PREP 1. Level’s 3, 4, 5 and 6 are Compulsory levels. All gymnasts in the country at these levels compete the same routines. There are usually 5 compulsory meets in the season ending with a State Championship. The NC PREP Optional program is run by the state of NC. This is an optional program where the gymnast has input into the composition of the routines and they also get to select their floor music. This season starts immediately after the compulsory season. Competing in the PREP Opt. program is optional, but it is a good introduction to optional gymnastics and the gymnasts usually do well in this program. Optional gymnastics begins with level 7. Once a gymnast reaches level 8 a greater commitment to the sport is required. At levels 8,9, and 10 the gymnasts get an opportunity to compete at a regional level (NC is in region 8 which includes SC, GA, FL, TN, AL, MS, and LA). At level 9 and 10 gymnasts can earn a chance to compete nationally. Elite- This is the top level of gymnastics. Less than 1% of the athletes in USAG will compete at this level. Gymnasts compete at Regional, National, and International competitions. The USA National teams, as well as the Olympic team are selected from this level. |
