Flipside Competitive Team
Flipside Competitive Team.
Flipside Gymnastics offers a competitive team for Gymnasts who desire more challenge and dedication to their sport. We offer Junior Olympic levels 2- 10, Excel Bronze- Diamond, ages 4+. Gymnasts will participate in different meets throughout the competitive season, to evaluate personal progress, and learn numerous team building qualities.
Our competitive team functions by invite only. Yearly evaluations are completed within compulsory classes, to examine strength, flexibility, and skill ability. Invitations are then sent out for our team tryouts event, which will operate as a placement process, in order to determine which level of team gymnasts would best fit into. At team tryouts, each gymnast will receive their placement for which level group they will be placed into, along with other information regarding the competitive program!
If your gymnast shows a special interest in the competitive team program, you may also email flipsidegymnasticsmi@gmail.com to request an evaluation.
