This nationally accredited program involves skill development specifically designed for each level on all four events. Structured gymnastic routines will be taught for bars, beam and floor. Our level 3 Pre-Team will learn routines and skills that are competed by the Flames Gymnastics Team of Olean-Bradford. When skills are acquired, the gymnasts will be invited to compete on the team. Progress to any level will be determined by the Y gymnastics staff and head coach.
