Pre-Team
Pre-Team at Off the Wall Gymnastics is an invitational program. The goal of which is to help gymnasts develop the necessary skills to compete on our competitive team.
This goal is met through practicing twice a week for two hours each practice. During the year Pre-Team will compete in one or two meets to give the girls a taste of competition and develop experience in competition before they join team.
Pre- Team is a fun and exciting time in the life of a gymnast. They are becoming stronger athletes and learning new skills while also adding an increased emphasis on good form. Head coach, Erica Compagnone reinforces the basics, teaches the new level 4 skills and the level 4 routines. She has a talent for creating a sense of team unity for the gymnasts while preparing them for sucess at their meets. Pre-Team practice incorporates fun challenges into the learning process to keep the girls interested and reward their love of the sport.
When Pre-Teamers move up to our team they leave Pre-Team with a sense of what it means to be on a team and all of the skills to compete on our team. Pre-Team practices Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 to 6:00pm.
Two weeks of full day summer camp is required each year for admission onto our pre team. Summer sessions are lots of fun, and give us the much needed time to give these young gymnasts the leg up they need to get off to a great start in this wonderful competitive sport.
