"Wake up every day knowing that today is a new day and only you can determine the outcome of the day. So dream big, accept the challenge and never look back." ~ Alicia Sacramone

 

Mid-Columbia Gymnastics offers competitive gymnastics through USA Gymnastics, the governing body of gymnastics. We offer Level 3 through 10 for girls ages 5-18 years of age. The majority of our competitive gymnasts come out of our recreational program. Students are selected based on physical ability, attitude and willingness to learn and take corrections in a positive way. All of our competitive gymnasts train year round.

 

Competitive gymnastics requires a joint commitment from the child and the family as a whole. All of our gymnasts learn routines on bars, beam, floor exercise and balance beam which they compete at meets. Our coaching staff also emphasizes safety, conditioning, core strength and general fitness. MCGA coaches are safety certified through USA Gymnastics. Gymnastics prepares children for a life time of physical fitness and teaches life skills that they will carry with them as through college and beyond. For more information you can contact our Girls Team Director Todd Sawyer 

Level 3 – This is our entry level of competitive gymnastics. Level 3 athletes train around 9 hours per week. They learn the Level 3 routines set by USA Gymnastics. Level 3 is a compulsory level where all of the gymnasts do the same routine and use the same floor music. Our level 3 team competes generally in Washington state. We attempt to stay local by competing in Spokane and Portland at the furthest. Level 3's can qualify to Eastern Sectional Championships and Washington State Championships. Many of our level 3 gymnasts come from our Pre-Team 2. Others come from our recreational program. Tryouts are typically in April. Please contact us for more information.
