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.
