GIRLS GYMNASTICS TEAM PHILOSOPHY
The philosophies and teachings within the girl's team gymnastics program flow smoothly from those of all other Metro programs. This program provides a variety of options for girls who wish to take their gymnastics experience to a higher level through competition. Gymnasts who show an aptitude and a keen interest in the sport of gymnastics are invited to a team tryout scheduled at different times throughout the year. Team gymnastics is a great way for gymnasts to express themselves utilizing the concentration, confidence, creativity, self-discipline, strength, coordination, awareness, flexibility, balance, and agility they acquired in their classes.

We believe in a positive environment for girls to learn gymnastics to their fullest potential. We feel strongly that it is not the natural ability or “talent” of the child that is important, but the desire of the child to be involved in the sport of gymnastics and a willingness to put forth 100% effort to achieve her goals. We stress dedication and an aggressive work ethic, but we understand that a child must enjoy the sport of gymnastics so that she can fully appreciate the benefits of her participation. Gymnastics is a fantastic sport with many benefits for the body, mind and spirit. The coaches at Metro strive to build and hone as many of those benefits as possible for all gymnasts in the program as a team and as individuals.

The Girl’s Team competes at local, state, regional and national levels. The gymnasts range in age from 6 to 18 and compete based on their individual skill level. The Girl’s Team requires additional training time of the gymnasts. They also require the parents to participate in the Parents Booster Club, which helps to “boost” and support the competitive programs. Metro’s goal is for every competing gymnast to reach their individual potential no matter what skill level they attain. The Metro Girl's Team Program strives to promote a good work ethic and high self esteem by challenging the gymnast in mind and body.

Metro Gymnastics Center Girl’s Team follows the USA Gymnastics Jr. Olympic Program.
