This level of gymnastic instruction is an "introduction" level.

Twice each year your child will receive ribbons for each of the Olympic events: Vault, Bars, Beam, and Floor for the girls, Floor, Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars, and Horizontal Bar for the boys. Each gymnast will also receive a skill sheet listing the skills he/she will be exposed to throughout the year.

NOVICE I,
NOVICE II, AND INTERMEDIATE
These classes comprise our "mastery" program. The goal of this program is to aid students as they progress from basic gymnastic skills to a more difficult and challenging skill level. Students will receive an "evaluated" skill sheet twice a year. This skill sheet will contain check marks noting all skills that the student has mastered up to that date. Students will also receive ribbons per Olympic event as the Kindergarten/1st Grade students, with the total number of mastered skills listed on the back of each ribbon.

TRAINERS These classes are open to gymnasts by invitation only. Class members are usually discovered in their Kindergarten/1st Grade, Novice I, Novice II or Intermediate recreational classes. These gymnasts stand out in their classes for their focus, strength, flexibility, physical coordination and the desire to enter into the competitive level of gymnastics. Age ranges for this group are generally from six to twelve years old. Trainer Classes generally meet twice a week for an hour and a half per class. Proper etiquette, body conditioning, shaping and flexibility continue will prepare the gymnasts to enter our team programs. Attention is paid to the USAG skills that will prepare the gymnasts to enter our Team program.

TOPS

"TOPS" is the Talent Opportunity Program supported by the USA Gymnastics Federation. High priority is placed on identifying children with gymnastics potential and extending training opportunities to their coaches with the National USA staff. Emphasis is on technical progressions, dance, nutrition and sports psychology. During the summer, gymnasts are evaluated on physical abilities at the state or regional level. These dates are set by the regional TOPs manager in conjunction with the National Elite Program Chairperson. From this evaluation, athletes are invited to participate in the National TOPs test that is conducted each Fall. At this National Testing, gymnasts will be evaluated on the same physical abilities tests, along with some basic gymnastics skills. The highest ranking athletes are then invited to participate in the National TOPs Training camp which takes place at the end of each year.
The goals for this program are to:

  • Identify young gymnasts between 7 to 11 years old that are not currently seeking or training for elite or international level competition.
  • Identify deficiencies in fitness and skill factors that can be determined by scientific testing and interaction with regional and national staff coaches. These deficiencies will be communicated to both the athlete and the coach for remedial work.
  • Enhance the information flow and educational opportunities to talented athletes, their parents or guardians, and their coaches to help improve the athlete's training
GGA coach, Judy Prestigiacomo Miller, conducts this testing program for the Lawrenceville gym and GGA coach, Cassi Ballard, conducts the the testing for the Suwanee gym. Judy also holds the highly-regarded position for Georgia as the TOPS State Manager.
