Competitive Teams
Competitive gymnastics is one of the most challenging and rewarding sports. The life lessons learned during a competitive gymnastics career are continuous and invaluable. Our philosophy for our team program is one of excellent basics, form, technique, conditioning, and flexibility. We believe that this strong foundation will lead to a safe, continual, and smooth progression from one skill to the next. The purpose of our competitive team system is to place athletes with similar goals together into training environments that will give them an exceptional competitive experience and opportunity to achieve their goals. With positive feedback and a focus on being “Good for Kids” we build confidence, a strong work ethic, and self-discipline.

Our Developmental Program is designed to allow young gymnasts, ages 5-7, to create a love of the sport and begin building a solid gymnastics foundation that will allow them future success in one of our competitive team programs. All of our locations have a Developmental Program.

Our daughter has been training at Olympia Chesterfield for years and we highly recommend this gym. We have had experience with both their recreational programs as well as their competitive “team” programs and we have had wonderful experiences. We can’t say enough about Miss Katey who we have known for many years and the lovely Joann who is always available to assist us with questions regarding anything from billing to upcoming competitions and is always sporting a welcoming smile. Try out Olympia Chesterfield; you won’t regret it!
Love the supportive gymnastics team environment, not too pushy and great skill building
