Competition Squads
Our Squads…
Champion athletes aren’t just born – they’re selected, trained, molded and tested. Over the years Starlight Trampoline & Gymnastics Club has been a competitive force all over the country. We hone raw talent to maturity with quality coaching, primal workouts and a true love of the sport! Teamwork, perseverance, sportsmanship – those are the hallmarks of Starlight Trampoline & Gymnastics Club.
Starlights Squad groups are the highest level for gymnasts that have successfully progressed through the pathways. Our squad gymnasts are extremely dedicated to the sport and club! They are required to have a competitive spirit and willingness to work hard as gymnasts will be training to compete at regional and national competitions.
All squad gymnasts are required to have a the appropriate Starlight Regional and/ or National kit.
Pre-Development Squad
Our Pre-Development Squad provides the fundamentals to progress in Trampoline and Tumbling. We have a high focus on conditioning and perfecting the basics needed to move throughout our squad pathways. Gymnasts at this stage are required to train a minimum of 2 hours per week. This will increase if they progress to the next Squad pathway.
This stage is designed to help each gymnast decide which discipline and competition pathway they would like to follow. Before progressing into our Development Squad, your gymnast will have chosen either Trampolining and Double Mini Trampoline, or Tumbling and DMT.
Development Squad
Our development gymnastics squad is aimed at gymnasts who have shown a keen desire and commitment to develop their skills with an aim to progress onto our pathway and compete at Regional and National competitions in Trampoline & Double Mini Trampoline or Regional level competitions in Tumbling.
The development squad is by invitation only with a requirement to train a minimum of 2 x 2 hours per week.
