 How do I tell if my child is progressing?  Our class system is set up so the gymnast, coach and parent are aware of all the skills earned in each class.  The beginner and advance classes have levels- blue, bronze, silver and gold.  Each level has skills which the gymnasts earn during their class period.  Each gymnast excels at their own level, which are skill specific.  The coach marks off each of the skills after the gymnast achieve the skill, and then the gymnast receives stickers for the achieved skill.  The gymnast will receive the stickers every two weeks.   Then the gymnast can apply the skills to their level skill chart at home.

 How do you get on a gymnastics team?  At SLGC we have many options for our rising stars.  Your gymnast can be asked to our unsanctioned team by passing thru advanced bronze in our advanced classes.
