Serving Alamo Heights and the Surrounding Areas

If your young child is interested in competitive gymnastics, our Prep Team is for her! Designed for beginners with no previous experience, the nine-week session is similar to our recreational classes but is five minutes longer and is coached by team coaches.

A scheduled or drop-in evaluation is required and is based on the coachability of your child, not her skill level. There is a $20 fee. Evaluations are done by invitation or request.

To schedule an evaluation, email us at ogcspeed@gmail.com and we will call you.

The Prep Team works out Tuesday/Thursday 4:30-7:30pm.

Unlike a lot of other sports, competitive gymnastics is not seasonal. Training is basically a way of life and there is no off-season.

A level 3, an athlete will work out three days a week for a total of nine hours, while a level 4 and 5 athlete will work out four days a week for 12 hours. At level 6 and higher, you can expect a minimum of 16 hours of workout time per week!

Other sports usually cannot be played in conjunction with this highly labor-intensive activity.

Olympia Gymnastics & Cheer offers women's USA Gymnastics Developmental Program Levels 3-10.

Olympia Gymnastics' team is competitive, organized, and well run. Our staff is fully qualified and fully committed to their gymnasts. Olympia Gymnastics Team Coaches are USAG Certified, Background Checked & Safe Sport Certified. Olympia Gymnastics is a USAG Club Member.

Competitive gymnastics involves the whole family and we are proud to offer our wonderful, character-building program. The lessons our girls learn in the gym will benefit them for the rest of their lives and we are proud of them all.

If you think your child has what it takes, we are always ready and willing to share all the necessary information and to schedule an evaluation.

Placement on our teams is by invitation from the coach or private evaluation.
