Girls Team Gymnastics
Girls Competitive Gymnastics Program
The philosophies and teachings within the Girl’s Team gymnastics program flow smoothly from those of all other Metro programs. We believe in maintaining a positive environment for all gymnasts so that they may reach their highest potential in and outside of the sport.
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 their goals. We strive to lead by example through strong work ethic, supporting each other, self-respect and respect for others, cultivating strength in body and mind and sharing our passion for the sport. We believe that gymnastics, when coached correctly, teaches children life skills that they can take with them beyond the sport of gymnastics.
How do I join the Metro Girls Team?
Open tryouts are held once a year (in late Spring) and are designed to showcase the athlete’s strength, flexibility, and gymnastics skills.
If you are an existing team member moving to Metro from another team you will first be evaluated by the head coach and then have a parent/athlete meeting before you join the team.
Please contact Sara Halverson with any additional questions.
Booster Club
As a parent, it is strongly suggested that you involve yourself with Metro’s Booster Club. This is a non-profit organization that is designed to raise money for your athlete’s competitive account. The booster club is also responsible for the hosting of social events for the competitive team program (awards banquet, holiday party, beginning of the year barbeque, etc.), sizing and fitting uniforms. Meetings are held regularly and all parents are invited to attend.
