Apollo Gymnastics competitive program consists of both boy’s and girl’s team. We currently have over 70 gymnasts. The vast majority of competitive team gymnasts advance from our recreational gymnastics program.  Our competitive team develops the skills needed to compete at the local, state, regional and national levels. Gymnasts train year round and generally compete between the months of September and May. 

The girl’s competitive program begins at Level 3 and continues through Level 9. Compulsory gymnasts, levels 3-6, train between 9–16 hours a week. Optional Level gymnasts, 7-10, train as much as 21 hours a week during the school year.
