TAGS TEAM
TAGS Gymnastics is proud to offer several excellent competitive gymnastics experiences for athletes ages 5-18. Our team athletes have a healthy gymnastics/life balance and train year-round. Athletes in the TAGS Team programs compete both locally and across the country. TAGS athletes are instilled with great work habits, team-building skills, a love for the sport, and life-long friendships. Some athletes in our team programs continue to compete in college.
How do I become a TAGS Team Gymnast?
If your athlete is interested in a team position, please fill out a Team Interest Form available at the front desk. Team positions are by invitation only. Every gymnast at TAGS is considered a candidate for a potential team spot. Athletes are observed discreetly throughout their time at TAGS to best assess their readiness for the higher levels of competition. Strength, flexibility, and listening skills are some of (but not all) of the important characteristics we consider for team candidacy. Athletes must be enrolled in classes in order to be considered for team spots. We will contact you if your gymnast is the best candidate for an open team position.
What team levels are offered at TAGS?
