Girl's Optional Level Team Classes at Elite

Optional Level gymnastics includes Levels 7, 8, 9, and 10.  The Optional Level Team is for girls who have progressed up from the Compulsory Levels.  Current practice hours for the Optional Level Team are listed above.

Level 7 Team is a ‘bridge’ between compulsory and optional competition.  Selection to this group of girls is by progression from Level 6 and is based on skill level, competition scores, and attendance.  Emphasis is placed on strength, flexibility, perfecting the Level 7 optional routines, and learning the Level 8 competition skills.  Competitions begin in December and continue through April, but Invitationals will be entered throughout the year.  Competition involves travel both within and outside California.  Level 7 gymnasts compete in the California State Championships if they attain the qualifying score (determined annually by the State committee) during the regular season.  Level 7 gymnasts are evaluated periodically throughout the year to determine their readiness to progress to Level 8.   

Level Eight, Nine, and Ten Teams  Optional competition (individually choreographed routines) is included at all of these levels.  Selection to this group is by progression from the previous level and is based on skill level, competition scores, and attendance.  Competitions begin in December and continue through May, but Invitationals will be entered throughout the year.  Competition involves travel both within and outside California, including the possibility of International competitions.  California State Championships, Regionals, Western Nationals (Level 9 only), and Junior Olympic Nationals (Level 10 only) are all possible competitions for gymnasts of these levels who are able to attain the qualifying scores.  Optional Level Team gymnasts are evaluated periodically throughout the year to determine their readiness to progress to the next level.
