This program is for gymnasts who have advanced from beginner levels and are interested in competing.  At this stage of training, a certain dedication is required from both the gymnasts and the parents.  This program is more time consuming, and gymnasts will practice about 5-6 hours a week, and take additional ballet classes.  The training includes refining basic skills, perfecting apparatus handling, and learning routines for competitions. Girls at these levels will compete at invitational, state, and regional competitions.

Levels 7 through 10

This advanced program is for athletes 11 years of age and up, and is based on FIG Rhythmic training. It is a competitive program for experienced athletes only.  These athletes must dedicate many hours of training (15 or more per week) to perfect advance skills in all aspects of rhythmic gymnastics.  At this level, athletes prepare for competitions, training several times a week, and travel to various competitions locally and out of state.  It is an honor to advance to upper levels and requires complete dedication from athletes, but the results are definitely worth it.
