Competitive Team
Program
Gymnastics & More's competitive team program is designed for the gymnast who is
proficient with all the skills required in our recreational class programs.
Once they have achieved those skills (USA Gymnastics Levels 1-2), they are
invited to train with our Level 3 competitive team who will train Level 4
skills in hopes of moving up to our competitive Level 4/Prep Silver (or higher) team.
We have boys and girls competitive gymnastics.
Our team program maintains the same philosophy of
Gymnastics & More: To build self-esteem through fitness and fun AND to
teach the sport in a safe and fun environment while raising the child's level of
self-esteem. Our team program also includes certain coaching goals:
To provide the mental and physical discipline needed for competition within a
framework of positive reinforcement and encouragement. Learning to be
comfortable in a competitive situation is a positive experience and adds to a
child's development.
We established our team in 1994 and have won a South
Carolina State Championship Team Title every year. That means from
1994-2008, an Ocean Flipper or an entire Ocean Flipper Team was crowned STATE
CHAMPION. We have produced over 50 individual All-Around State Champions.
Our first graduating senior from high school earned a full gymnastics
scholarship to the University of North Carolina. The owner of Gymnastics &
More, Louie Liguori, has had a total of 9 gymnasts received college gymnastics
scholarships and 3 on the Junior National Team.
