Demo Team Ages 6+ and Demo Minis Ages 3-5
Our girls’ Demo Team is a performance group, representing San Diego Gymnastics at local events, like Del Mar Fair, fall festivals, holiday parades, and others, throughout the year. The Demo Team is a secondary class. Students must be enrolled in recreational gymnastics classes for the opportunity to be invited to the Demo Team.
On this team, gymnasts will:
- Build confidence and learn about the power of teamwork.
- Learn showmanship and participate in team building activities.
- Work on tumbling, choreographed routines, presentation, and technique.
Parkour Team
Parkour Team is an additional co-ed class option for athletes currently enrolled in and invited from an Intermediate or Advanced Parkour class. Parkour Team practices once a week to enhance skills and get competition-ready, in addition to the regular class time. Our Parkour Teams travel to our six locations and compete with each other in-house every 3 months.
On this team, athletes will:
- Learn showmanship and participate in team building activities.
- Work on tumbling, choreographed routines, presentation, and technique.
Our Parkour Teams compete in multiple different parkour competition formats:
- Speed: Athletes complete a given obstacle course in the fastest time possible.
- Skill: Athletes attempt to successfully perform specific skills at varying levels of difficulty; completing a more difficult skill results in a higher score.
- Style: Athletes will create their own 20-30 second freestyle run, which will be scored based on creativity, use of environment, skill difficulty, and more.
- Bonus Format – Chase Tag: In a 1v1 parkour version of tag, the chaser must tag the runner before time is up (usually 15-20 seconds).
Pre-Team
Our girls’ Pre-Team is separated into two age groups: Hot Shots (ages 4 to 6, practicing two times per week) and Stars (ages 7+, practicing three times per week).
To be nominated for Pre-Team, gymnasts must:
- Demonstrate advanced skill potential, discipline, a positive attitude, an eagerness to learn, and a love for gymnastics.
- Work toward advancing to our Competitive Team.
Competitive Team: XCEL
Our girls’ Competitive Team program provides discipline and structure, while focusing on individual needs. Though an excellent work ethic is mandatory, our coaches also appreciate fun and balance. Team practice times vary depending on the level.
