Flip Factory Gymnastics Team
Pre-Team / Competitive Gymnastics
Welcome to the Flip Factory Pre-Team and Competitive Gymnastics Team
web page! One of the best mediums available to teach lessons of basic
interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, discipline, self-motivation,
self-reliance, and self-esteem is accomplished through the success and
recognition of competitive gymnastics.
The Flip Factory gymnastics Pre-Team and Team is by invitation only. Selection to Pre-Team and Team means a serious commitment to gymnastics, for the athletes as well as their family. First and foremost, we feel gymnastics should be fun! Pre-Team and Team gymnastics is more demanding than the average recreational class, but the overall experience should be positive and stimulating. Our goal is for each participant to experience success at the competitive level.
Practices for Pre-Team will require an attendance of four to six hours each week. The focus of a Pre-team is to learn the preparatory skills necessary to advance and compete in AAU and USAG sanctioned competitions based on the guidelines of the Junior Olympic Compulsory program. You will be notified when your child meets the necessary strength, flexibility and skill acquisition requirements for advancement.
Level 4 Team is required to meet 3 days a week for a minimum of 9 hours per week. Level 5 and up is required to meet 5 days a week for a minimum of 12 hours per week. The students need to attend each practice in order to progress safely and effectively. Our Team schedule is subject to change. Please contact our facility office for current practice times and prices.
Additional expenses would include a required Flip Factory Team practice leotard, a required Flip Factory Team competition leotard, a required Flip Factory Team warm up suit, a required Flip Factory Team gym bag, USAG & AAU Athlete Memberships fees, and Flip Factory booster club fees.
The Flip Factory Pre-Team and Team have an excellent Booster Club that actively participates in fundraising events that are designed to help defray the expenses associated with competitive gymnastics. Parents of our Pre-Team and Team members are required to participate in our Booster Club.
Once your child has been selected to participate in the Flip Factory Pre-Team or Team program you will be invited to attend an informational meeting that will explain the associated costs and dynamics of pre-team and competitive gymnastics.
