The JO Developmental Program is designed to prepare young gymnasts for USA Gymnastics Junior Olympic competition. Gymnasts are hand selected when they exhibit a passion for gymnastics combined with physical and mental aptitude. The program is progressive, disciplined and intense by nature to ensure safe training practices and to develop a positive work ethic. If they achieve the necessary skills for competition and make the time commitment essential for success, gymnasts in the program are invited to one of the competitive teams.
