Top Guns is the first step in the boy's competitive gymnastics program and considered our pre-team level. These boys are selected from our Pre-School and Recreational classes based on ability level, maturity, and interest. The Top Guns level focuses on technique. The athletes train on all of the six men's Olympic events plus skill training on the trampoline. |

The Level 4 Team is the first level of competition and will compete in USA Gymnastics Sanctioned meets. The boys train and compete in each of the six events which are part of the men's Olympic all-around: floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars, and the high bar. At this level the boys work on routines for each event and build on skills and emphasis is on team competition. |

The next segment of our boys programs consists of three levels of compulsory routines: Levels 5, 6 and 7. Each of these levels builds upon skills learned in the previous level. These compulsory levels help the boys to develop the strong basics they will need later for the optional levels. The boys at these levels compete in USA Gymnastics sanctioned competitions where they compete against other boys in the same age-groups from other clubs around our state and region, |

Beginning with Level 8, the boys enter the optional levels of our program. The routines at these levels, while still having certain difficulty and special requirements, are created by the gymnast and his coach to show the talent and creativity of each individual. Boys who continue on into the optional levels of our program train up to four days a week, and may qualify for National competition at Levels 9 and 10. |
