Our team program focuses on strong fundamentals, positive coaching, and developing confident, hardworking athletes in a supportive environment.
Current GRIT gymnasts enrolled in recreational classes or Pre-Team do not need to register for tryouts. Those athletes are continuously evaluated during their regular classes and will be invited to team if the coaching staff feels they are ready.
