The most obvious benefit of team level gymnastics is the high level of athletic conditioning our young athletes work for.  In both Elementary and Junior High, these athletes are stronger and faster than boys competing on school athletic teams.  Their strength and athleticism transfers easily to other sports, and provides a sound basis for creating a life long enjoyment of sports and athletics.

Success in gymnastics does not come easily.  Each level of competition is successively more difficult, and skills at upper levels require not only strength flexibility and coordination, but courage as well.  The gymnasts must be determined, often must overcome mental and physical obstacles, and must maintain clear focus on long term goals in order to succeed.  These qualities transfer easily into school, and in later years into work and personal endeavors.

Each day in the gym a team gymnast faces new challenges that require full concentration, and attention to detail in perfecting performance.  Goals are set, and timetables need to be met in order to be ready for competition.  Day in and day out, as each of these goals are met, each becomes stronger and more capable of understanding the connections between work ethic and success.  As a result, although the team gymnast has a long work day between school and gym, they are able to maintain their excellence in school as well as gymnastics.

Joining the team  is a great experience.  If you have talent for doing gymnastics, there is no better place to become the  best you can be than at Tumbleweeds.
