Developmental Team in Full Fall Bloom

🍂 Harvesting Potential at Gravity: A Closer Look at Our Developmental Team 🍂

As the crisp air of fall sweeps in and we gather around to give thanks, there’s no better time to reflect on growth, community, and the seeds of greatness. At Gravity Gymnastics, our Developmental Team is exactly that—a place where young gymnasts begin to cultivate their strength, confidence, and love for the sport in a warm and supportive environment—and the starting point of their competitive gymnastics journey. Here’s a deeper dive into what makes our DT program special.

 ✨What Is the Developmental Team? ✨

Our Developmental Team is a pre-competitive, invitation-only program for gymnasts ages 5–14, tailored to give them a strong technical base while prioritizing fun and age-appropriate challenges. Gymnasts are typically scouted from our recreational classes or evaluations when they show strong focus, body control, coordination, and potential for more advanced skill development.

Rather than jumping straight into high stakes meets, these young athletes work on building the strength, flexibility, coordination, and body awareness required for competitive gymnastics.

🎇 What Are In-House Competitions 🎇

Twice a year, our gym hosts in-house competitions—the Winter Gravity Challenge and Spring Gravity Challenge. These events let athletes “harvest” the skills they’ve been working on, showcasing routines in a familiar and friendly environment.

It’s competition—no travel, no pressure, just encouragement, pride, and fun. It's the perfect way for young gymnasts to experience what competition feels like while staying surrounded by their supportive Gravity family.

🦃 Why Next Autumn Is the Perfect Time to Join 🦃

Fall is a season of growth and gratitude—the same values our Developmental Team fosters. DT offers a supportive community, coaches who value character as much as skill, a path toward competitive levels, and experiences that build confidence, perseverance, and teamwork.

During the summer and fall, we scout and invite gymnasts for DT tryouts. If your child is interested in joining, be on the lookout for an email invite with all the details.

🍰 A Taste of Thankfulness 🍰

This Thanksgiving season, we’re grateful for every smile, every attempt, and every tiny victory our gymnasts share. The Developmental Team is more than a program—it’s a place where young athletes learn to rise, fall, and rise again with confidence.

Here’s to growth, gratitude, and gymnastics—one skill at a time.

Below is a glimpse into our Developmental Team in action—moments of focus, fun, and progress that truly capture what this journey is all about.
