SGA's Junior Olympic Competitive Program

USA Gymnastics Competition ( Levels 4 -10 )

Seattle Gymnastic Academy's Junior Olympic program develops strong, self-confident, motivated, and successful gymnasts. We provide each child the necessary tools to achieve their gymnastics dreams. 

Here is the mantra we live by:

* Motivated
* Athletic
* Graceful
* Independent
* Competitive......young women.

If you are interested in being a part of our Junior Olympic program, please be sure to contact Team Director Amy Linhardt at 206-267-3108 or stop by our Glade facility (12737 28th Ave NE) to check us out. We will always take time to evaluate a child and make sure he or she is placed in the appropriate program/class.

Seattle Gymnastics Academy feeds its Junior Olympic program through MAGIC, its highly structured development program and sometimes from our Recreational/Optional or Sar League teams. LONG before they compete, girls in the "JO" program start in our "MAGIC" developmental program.

Seattle Gymnastics Academy participates in the Talent Opportunity Program

TOP (Talent Opportunity Program) --TOPs (Talent Opportunity Program), is a talent search and educational program for female gymnast ages 7-11 and their coaches. During the months of June and July gymnasts ages 7-11 are evaluated on physical abilities at the state or regional level. These dates are set by our regional TOP manager in conjunction with your National Elite Program Chair. From there, athletes are invited to participate in the National TOP test that is conducted in the month of October where they will be evaluated on the same physical abilities tests along with some basic gymnastics skills. Athletes are then invited to participate in the National TOP Training camp which takes place in December of each year.  Additional information can be found on the TOPS Program homepage
