EGA's Competition Prep Program is a specialized, invitation- or tryout-based program designed for young gymnasts who demonstrate the potential, readiness and commitment to take their gymnastics to the next level. Bridging the gap between recreational gymnastics and future competitive opportunities, Competition Prep offers a more structured training environment focused on proper technique, strength, flexibility, skill development and the discipline needed for higher-level gymnastics. Athletes train in small, carefully selected groups with individualized coaching and progressive skill development. Our goal is to help each gymnast build confidence, consistency and strong technical foundations while preparing for the possibility of transitioning into competitive gymnastics in the future.

Training Groups

Our introductory program offers three age-based training categories:

Birth Years

2020–2018 | Weekly Training | 3.5 hours

2023–2021 | Weekly Training | 3 hours

2017 and earlier | Weekly Training | 4.5 hours

Athletes begin with one training session per week, with opportunities for increased training hours in future sessions as the program develops and athletes demonstrate readiness. Tuition will be adjusted accordingly if training hours increase.

Admission by Invitation or Tryout

Unlike our open-enrollment recreational programs, Competition Prep requires coach approval. Athletes may be personally invited by EGA's coaching team or assessed through a tryout. Placement is based on age, skill level, readiness, coachability and available space. Groups are designed for a maximum of eight athletes per coach, with additional enrollment considered only when appropriate coaching coverage and space are available.
