Beginning:
In the beginning level, gymnasts will learn the fundamentals of gymnastics skills on the women’s apparatuses which include Vault, Bars, Beam and Floor.  These young athletes will have a chance to build up their strength, flexibility and agility through progressions and drills which are a very important part in this level.  Some of the basic skills they will learn include cartwheels, handstands, bridges, bridge kick-overs, pull-overs, cast, balancing skills, running, jumping, and leaping.
