Level Testing
Level Testing lets kids showcase their skills and progress to the next level if they’re ready!
Our class level testing program exists to let each student learn the sport of gymnastics in a safe, child-oriented way allowing all of our students to learn skills at their own pace and to reach their potential in gymnastics, this is done with no charge to the gymnast.
Approximately every six weeks on a Saturday the students have the opportunity to come to the gym and show our coaches how well they learned the skills in their level. If a child passes each skill she will be awarded a ribbon and start working on the next levels’ skill set. If skills are not mastered, the student, parents, and coach know what skills to work extra hard on and can try at the next level testing to pass these skills and move to the next level.
Skills Clinic
Sign up for an extra practice to work on the more challenging skills on your upcoming level test!
Skills Clinics at Texas East Kids give our students an opporutnity to improve the difficult skills needed to pass their level test. The students will be completely immersed in one or more skills at every gymnastics event to ensure cognitive understanding, recognize their strengths & weaknesses at their level, and develop a plan to master the skills necessary for leveling up.
Students will be introduced to drills that break the larger skill down into smaller phases to improve their gymnastics ability. The drills will also help them gain a better understanding of what is needed to progress in the desired skill. They will then be given practice skills that can be utilized at home to continue progress beyond the time allotted at the clinic.
Skills Clinics are usually offered every 10-12 weeks for an hour-and-a-half duration. The timeframe allows for a proper warmup, a set time for practice on all four gymnastics events they will be tested on, and ensures quality over quantity turns. Skill work may vary based on the level but might include cartwheel and bridge variations on Floor, motor skill work on balance beam, coordination, and body control on trampoline, pullover, and swinging skill work on bars.
Sign-up is available the week of Skills Clinics at the front desk. Space is limited, it’s a first-come-first-serve!
