COMPETITION GYMNASTICS
Our team members train year-round, and most or all meets are between November and March. Our current team is all girls, so they compete on four apparatuses: uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercise, and vault.
WHAT WE OFFER
In compulsory gymnastics, all the gymnasts in each level perform identical routines, with the same musical accompaniment.
In optional gymnastics, the routines at each level have certain skill requirements, but every gymnast has a unique routine, choreographed to show her particular strengths. On floor exercise, each gymnast also chooses her own musical accompaniment and the routines are built around them.
Our Xcel Program levels are Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. Similar to “optional gymnastics,” Xcel routines are unique to each gymnast and feature a handful of skill requirements.

WE PROUDLY PARTICIPATE IN USA GYMNASTICS
THE NATIONAL GOVERNING BODY FOR GYMNASTICS IN THE UNITED STATES
USAG is made up of two tracks: the Women’s Developmental Program (formerly known as the Junior Olympic program) and Xcel. Our women’s artistic gymnastics program is USAG accredited and can support developmental, compulsory, and optional levels, as well as Xcel. The four events, or apparatuses, are vault, balance beam, uneven bars, and floor exercise.

How and when do I register?Check out our current or upcoming schedule to determine the best class day and time for your child’s age group. Before your child’s first day of class, submit your tuition, registration fee (due once a year), completed registration form, and signed release of liability directly to one of our office staff members. We can also take payment over the phone, and you may email your completed registration form before the first day of class.
-
Can I join after the session has begun?Registration remains open for each class, as long as there are spots available. Spaces fill quickly, so we recommend signing up two weeks prior to the beginning of a session. For those who join us after the session has begun, we prorate the cost, so you only pay for the classes you take! Please come in and give your tuition and completed registration form to one of our office staff members.
-
Can my child try a class before we register?We offer a free trial class for first-timers. Call the office to schedule one! We will prorate the session fee and only charge you for the remainder of the session, after you see how much fun your child has in the class. We rarely see a one-time gymnast!
-
None of your class times fit my schedule. How can I join?If you would like to join the program but cannot due to conflicts, please call the office to be placed on a waiting list. If you have three or more friends that all want to participate, let us know and we may be able to create a special class just for you. In the meantime, check out our private lessons!
-
How much is the annual registration fee?Registration fee is $50 per gymnast. Annual renewal will be based on the original date of enrollment.
-
What is Early Bird Week?Those who register and pay their tuition two full weeks before the start of the session will receive a $5.00 discount off the session tuition.

XCEL PROGRAM
ALTERNATE COMPETITIVE PROGRAM
Xcel offers individual flexibility to coaches and gymnasts by allowing a much wider set of skills to meet requirements.
Gymnasts have their own unique routines, meeting certain requirements, and can choose their own floor music. Sometimes, an Xcel level will all use the same music, but change tumbling passes. Capitol City’s Xcel program has featured Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels.

Meets begin Oct/Nov and end March/Apr. Should your gymnast go on to State, Regionals, and Nationals, etc., this may extend out further. Meet dates for the year are communicated to parents in September.
At each meet, your gymnast will only compete during one block of time, on one day. Individual meet schedules come out only a few weeks before the meet. Once we get closer to our first meet, the Booster Board holds a meeting for new parents about what to expect at your first meet.
OUR TEAM CULTURE
AUTHENTIC AND RESPECTFUL
Our coaches are authentic and respectful: they treat gymnasts the same, both at practice and at meets, and they speak to their athletes with dignity.
We care about the total person. Our gymnasts are also students, siblings, and participants in other extracurricular activities. We want gymnastics to be a joyful part of their lives, not their whole identity.
WEEKLY TRAINING HOURS
PER PROGRAM
LEVEL 2:6 hours
LEVEL 3-4:10.5 (LEVEL 4 HAS THE OPTION OF 14 HOURS)
LEVEL 6-7:14
LEVEL 8:17.5
INVESTMENT
It’s no secret that competitive gymnastics comes with price tags for rhinestone-studded leos, travel, coaching, meet registration, and training time.
To help keep competitive gymnastics financially accessible, all of our team parents work together as the CCG Booster Club. The Boosters provide families with numerous (optional) fundraisers through which team members can cover up to 100% of their costs, besides monthly gym fees.
HOW TO JOIN OUR TEAM
In the spring, we host tryouts that are open to anyone. We also invite our recreational gymnasts who have the skills and work ethic to train at a competitive level.
Those who join the team are organized into summer training groups. Towards the end of the summer, our team members are assigned the level at which they will compete for the duration of competition season.
