At Inspire Gymnastics the path that suits our coaching styles the best is starting our competitive team at level 3 and 4. We only compete levels 3 and 4 in the the JO compulsory levels and then we move onto the JO Optional Levels 6-10.
We do not compete JO levels 1, 2, or 5. Once selected for our Pre-team our gymnast start training for levels 3 and 4 and focussing their efforts on the skills and elements they would use throughout their career such as glide kip, cast handstand, back handsprings series, press to handstand and more.
At Inspire we feel these are the absolute basic fundamentals and major building blocks to start from in the sport of gymnastics. At Inspire this is where we like our gymnast to put their focus on the main building blocks so they have a strong and broad foundation to help the successfully progress through the sport.
