This is the introductory level to competition. A front flip on trampoline and a back handspring on floor is required to be on the Level 5-6 team. Although this is an independent sport it is still very team oriented. The ability to be cooperative with team members and coaches, and being supportive during practices and meets is required. Level 5-6 Team members compete at all local meets, and have the opportunity to attend a regional meet near the season end in March. |

Once an athlete has mastered the skills needed for competition they advance to the Levels 7-8 team where we begin working skill combinations into full routines. Athletes at this level compete in local, as well as regional competitions. Athletes competing level 8 have the opportunity of competing at the USAG Nationals. |

Level 9-10 athletes begin to learn optional routines. Level 9-10 athletes begin working on multiple somersaulting flips, and flips with twists. Level 9-10 teams often travel to regional and national meets, and have the opportunity to compete to be a part of the World Age Group team, and junior Olympic program that travels to international competitions. |

The Elite Team trains the athletes to perform many high level skills, such as multiple twisting and flipping single and double somersaults, along with style and technique. The athletes compete in all local, regional, and national meets, along with the opportunity to travel internationally for the sport. Every two years athletes from Gleason’s compete with others nation wide for a chance to represent the gym at the World Championships. |
