Team Mission

We understand that participation and advancement through Triad's team program
 requires a large time, emotional and financial commitment, and this may not be
an appropriate program for every child.  However, for those children wishing to
pursue gymnastics at a competitive level and realize their full potential in this
wonderful sport, we feel we offer the most complete program in the state of Iowa. 
 Our mission, which we take very seriously, is to have an important positive
impact on your child's future.  We are not only committed to helping each child
become the best gymnast she can possibly be, but also to helping her become
a happy, healthy and responsible person.
 

Triad's Team Gymnasts participate in the Junior Olympic Program, which was
developed by USA Gymnastics, the governing body for gymnastics in the
United States.  This program consists of 10 levels of progressive gymnastics
 skills and routines for girls.  Female gymnasts compete on 4 events. These
events (in Olympic Order) are:  vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor.
 

Competitive Team
(Compulsory and Optional)

Triad's competitive team consists of levels 4-10.
These athletes train 11-25 hours per week and compete at several competitions per year.  Our goal for competitive athletes is to help them go as far in gymnastics as
their ability and desire will take them.  Our team coaches
 will place gymnasts at the level where they can be happy,
 safe and confident. 
 

Junior Team

Our Junior Team (ages 4-8) consists of 'Hot Shots' and 'Pre-Team'. 
he 'Pre-Team' gymnasts practice 4-6 hours per week. 

Hot Shots are our youngest team members.  These gymnasts have
demonstrated above average gymnastics ability and desire.  The main goal of
the Hot Shots program is to establish a rock solid foundation for
gymnastics development.

The purpose of Triad's Pre-team program is to expand upon the base which
was established in Hot Shots by introducing skill development on all of the
Olympic events plus dance and trampoline.
