DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
At Everest Gymnastics, our Development Program is designed for gymnasts seeking a high-level training and competition experience, supported by expert coaching and a commitment to technical excellence. This invitation-only program follows the official USA Gymnastics competitive structure and is divided into two paths:
Optional Team | Levels 6–10
Our Optional Team includes Levels 6 through 10 and focuses on individually choreographed routines judged on difficulty, execution, and composition. Athletes work with coaches to tailor routines to their strengths and develop advanced competitive skills.
Compulsory Team | Levels 2–5
Our Compulsory Team focuses on developing consistency, precision, and foundational technique. All gymnasts perform standardized routines for each level, evaluated primarily on execution and presentation.
