The main benefits of gymnastics are the mental and physical aspects of this sport. This sport is mainly about building strength both physically and mentally. It increases many aspects of physical strength including flexibility, balance and hand-eye coordination. Not only does it help kids stay active it also forms healthy habits throughout life. Under a supervised setting, it is a place where children and teens can feel safe growing interpersonal and other strengths in life.

Progressing to the next level requires a certain minimum score to advance. Your coach needs to believe in your skills and that you’re physically and mentally ready for the next level. Some reasons for being held from another level will only help you to grow stronger and progress. Sometimes just the fact of needing to get stronger physically will keep you at your current level. There are several different programs and levels including the JO program or the Gold division and the Xcel program.
