When:  Tuesdsay May 27th 7:15 - 8:15 pm

Ages: 8 - 15yrs

Cost: $30.00 

Is your athlete ready for more gymnastics? Have they mastered the fundamentals and they looking for more of a challenge in their classes? HHGC's Developmental Team may be the place for them! The Developmental Team is comprised of athletes between the ages of 7y-14y who have completed the first 6 levels of HHGC's Recreational Level system. This program is designed for those athletes who are focused on advancing their gymnastics skills, strength, speed, flexibility, and have the goal of one day trying out for HHGC's competitive team! The Developmental Team is a terrific stepping stone to one of our competitive program as it will give athletes the opportunity to focus on skill-technique and development in a "competitive-style" class! 

This group meets 2 x per week (exact schedule TBD) for 2 hours a class, from September-June, and will follow the recreational sessions/enrolment requirements. There is also a Developmental team uniform (leotard and shorts) that will cost approximately $100, and will be mandatory for all practices. It is the expectation that athletes in the Developmental Program will commit to the program for the entire year (September-June). Developmental Team athletes will also have the opportunity to participate in a year-end showcase at HHGC where they will perform routines that highlight their skills at the end of the Spring session!

Developmental is considered a Pre-Competitive program and therefore is an invite-only class, meaning that athletes must try-out for and be invited into the program. Tryouts can be done at the yearly Developmental Team Tryouts, or in an individual assessment with one of our coaches. 

Prerequisites for the program include: handstand flat back over the vault table, front handspring over the rezzi mat, chin up pullover and back hip circle on bars, cartwheel on a low beam, handstand on a high beam, back walkover on the floor, and handstand bridge stand up on floor. Other criteria will include: general strength and flexibility (i.e. push-ups, sit ups, rope climb, handstand hold on the wall, leg lifts, block jumps, pull-ups, splits, straddle/pike, bridges etc.), athletes will also be evaluated on their ability to follow directions and receive feedback.
