Developmental Teams (Pre Competitive)
Our developmental team program is focused on identifying children with the physical and mental aptitudes for gymnastics as young as age 3. By concentrating on developing their strength, flexibility, and basic skills, the gymnasts are prepared for competitive level gymnastics by the time they reach ages 7-9. The developmental teams workout 2-6 hours per week, depending on their level.
Virginia All Star Optional Program
The Virginia All Star Optional Program (VAOP) is a relatively new program that gives gymnasts the ability to construct their routines based on a combination of the requirements for each level as well as their individual strengths. It is considered part of USAG, it has its own State Meet and the routines are judged using the Level 8 execution guidelines.
- AS Novice – excellent entry point to competition for girls who have not yet competed in the USAG Level 4 program. The routines are predetermined by the coaches and the gymnasts use the Level 3 or Level 4 routines as a basis for constructing their routines.
- AS Intermediate – for gymnasts who have competed Level 4 or 5 and would like the experience of doing routines more like the traditional optional level path. Routines are constructed for each individual gymnast by their coaches based on the requirements sheet and the gymnasts’ individual strengths.
- AS Advanced – for gymnasts who have competed Level 6 or higher. Very similar to USAG’s Level 7 or 8 program. Routines are constructed for each individual gymnast by their coaches based on the requirements sheet and the gymnasts’ individual strengths.
There is mobility within the All Star program and gymnasts who compete in the All Star program may transition over to the appropriate Level 4-10 program upon evaluation and discussion with the coaches.
Competitive Teams (Levels 4 Elite)
As a member of USA Gymnastics, Paragon Gymnastics has teams at each of the competitive levels. The competitive level gymnasts train between 10 and 30 hours a week depending on their level.
