The goal of Level 1
Your child practices real gymnastics skills: hears a correction, tries again, and gets better.
It is the first step toward the competitive team, for girls who want more.
Can my 5-year-old start gymnastics?
Yes. Level 1 is the beginner class for girls age 5, 6, 7, 8 and up. Gymnastics for 5 year olds starts here, in a 60-minute class with other beginners.
Starting at 9, 10, 11, or 12?
It's not too late — no experience needed
Girls start gymnastics here at 9, 10, 11, and 12 as complete beginners, and Level 1 is built for exactly that. Teen beginners can start gymnastics in Level 1 too. The current self-service trial serves ages 5 through 18. Older beginners can contact us so we can recommend another option. No skills are expected on day one: training starts with body alignment, flexibility, coordination, and apparatus basics, and the coach places each girl in a group by age and readiness. Danced or done gymnastics before? Ask about a placement review.
Started later and want to compete? There is a path for that too: Rhythmic Xcel, made for girls who are new to the sport. Ask the coach about it. Compare Level 2, Level 3, and Rhythmic Xcel

How often to train: 1, 2, or 3 days a week
Level 1 is recreational gymnastics.
Talent or not, hard work is what we're after.
Talent is great. Most of the time, consistency and dedication make the difference. Here, girls learn to enjoy training really hard, a habit that helps far beyond the gym.
Start with one day a week and add days when you are ready.
- 1 day a weekWhere most girls begin
- 2 days a weekLess time between classes
- 3 days a weekThe rhythm Level 2 asks for
- No contracts, month to month
- Regular training is a must
- Gym closed for a holiday? Use another class that month
Next stage · Level 2
Ready for the competitive team when your child shows:
- Dedication: comes to train, not just to try
- Discipline: works on every correction
- Consistency: trains 3 days a week, every week
The schedule changes too. On the team, the coach sets the days and times, and families commit for at least 3 months. Some levels train 3+ hours at a time.
The team trains in our competitive gym, on two Olympic-size carpets, 42 by 42 feet each.
Every child gets there at their own time. Dedication, discipline, and consistency take time to build. Think your child is ready? Ask the coach for a try-out. See how Level 2, Level 3, and Rhythmic Xcel work
