Welcome to our Skills Testing process! This guide will help you understand how we assess gymnasts and how they progress through the levels.
When Testing Takes Place
Attendance
Attendance is especially important during Weeks 8 and 9. If your gymnast misses
both testing weeks, please plan to attend an
Open Gym (Fridays 6:30-8 PM) to complete a quick skills test. We are not able to offer skills testing outside of regular classes or open gym due to capacity.
Pre-Team & Team Invites
Progression Through Levels
Progression happens at different paces for every gymnast. Coaches assess readiness based on
skills and class readiness
to ensure gymnasts are prepared both physically and mentally for the next level.
It’s common for gymnasts to stay in the same level for multiple sessions. This ensures strong foundational skills, which are key to
safety
and
success. If your gymnast remains at the same level, please remind them this is part of the process and not a reflection of failure. The goal is to progress safely and confidently.
The Assessment Process
Our coaches use a skills rubric to provide the most consistent and accurate feedback possible. While every coach follows the same criteria, slight differences in assessment styles may occur. Please be patient, and feel free to ask questions if any discrepancies arise.
Open Communication
Our coaches are available
before and after classes to connect with parents and gymnasts. We encourage you to use this time to discuss progress or concerns.
