SNHGA 2020-2021 TEAM PROGRAM

Pre-Team at SNHGA is the stepping stone to competing in gymnastics! Training time is 2 hours per week and focuses on strength and flexibility, as well as perfecting basic skills.  Pre-Team gymnasts do not compete in travel competitions but will participate in SNHGA's end-of-year in-house meet in the spring.   Most gymnasts will spend 1-2 years in the Pre-Team Program before advancing to a competition level (Junior Olympic or Xcel Program)

Caity Scopa and Nora Thompson head up our Pre-Team Program for the 2020-2021 Season.

 The Women’s Development Program (WDP) or Junior Olympic as it is still commonly referred as, was created with the belief that all athletes, regardless of their potential, must have a solid foundation of basic skills in order to advance safely. The program allows the gymnast to advance at her own pace, competing in more than one level in a year, if she so chooses. 

SNHGA competes at JO Team Levels 1-5. Practices range from 2-4 times per week for 2-4 hours each night depending on the level.  Teams compete at travel competitions against other squads from around the state and region. 

Nora Thompson will be leading our J.O. 1, 2 and 3; 

Coryn Drown and Laurie Levassuer head up the J.O.4 & J.O.5 groups.

  The Xcel Program is an alternative USA Gymnastics competitive program offering individual flexibility to coaches and gymnasts. The goal of Xcel is to provide gymnasts of varying abilities and commitment levels the opportunity for a rewarding gymnastics experience. 

SNHGA current fields teams at the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Levels. Training is 2-4 times per week for 2-4 hours each practice  (depending on the level). Teams compete at travel competitions against other squads from around the state and region.

Caity Scopa is the Bronze Team Coach; Lisa Eschuk leads our Silver and Gold teams and Sherry Harper coaches our Platinum team.
