The gymnasts in the Olympics started out in a gym, just like Ultimate Gymnastics. They began in a recreational class. There in a recreational class their talent was recognized. They were then invited to a preteam. After the preteam they progressed to the competitive team just like the one here at Ultimate Gymnastics. Our competitive team gymnasts here at Ultimate Gymnastics are part of the Jr. Olympic Gymnastics Program. The gymnasts who are currently in the Olmpics progressed from the Jr. Olympic Program to Elite Gymnastics Stars, to the Olympic Games. Gymnastics is not just for the talented elite athletes, it is a healthy and fun activity for all children. Gymnastics helps to build a foundation of fitness as well as other social and character aspects of development. Gymnastics teaches children skills they will need to succeed in gymnastics and in life.
