Is gymnastics a year-round sport?
Yes. Gymnastics is too demanding to be seasonal. The training year is broken down into many parts. Gymnasts who take off for any extended period of time will find themselves falling behind quickly. There training year follows closely the school year. Fall is generally routine building, spring is the competitive season and summer is a “new skills” time of year. Generally, we ask new children to join the team in the summer to get a taste of team-style workouts. Meets are their way of showing off or performing what they have learned. Crenshaws and the coaches DO NOT MAKE A BIG DEAL out of winning at the earlier ages. This the kids do all too well by themselves. Coaches look for improvement from meet to meet.
