Star League

What is Star League Gymnastics?

Seattle Gymnastics Academy offers a wide variety of programs for children of all ages and abilities. Star League gymnastics allows a recreational gymnast the opportunity to experience competitive gymnastics and be a part of a team of friends. SGA Star League gymnasts compete at informal competitions in-house and invite other gyms from the area to participate as well.  SGA. Each class constitutes a team with a name and a leotard that sets them apart from the other classes and teams. This program is open to recreational gymnasts ages four and up.  You may speak with your child's coach for a recommended Star League level or sign-up for a tryout with the front desk for placement.

A Star League class size is limited to 8-9 students per coach and teams are formed based on skill ability. The curriculum includes conditioning, skill development and routines on Floor, Uneven Bars, Vault and Beam. The teams are named within Divisions of competition - "A", "AA", and "AAA." And here's the neat thing: the teams compete as a group, not as individuals. Everybody's score is added up and the team wins or places as group, removing most of the jitters.

This program is also great for moms who worry about their daughter's being in a competitive situation. If she has a friend here at SGA, let them do it together and you'll see good things happen.
