However, the developmental program does give many girls the opportunity to see if competitive gymnastics is a good fit for them. Participation in the developmental program is by no means an automatic path or right to the Aspire Gymnastics competitive team. The emphasis of this program is on the development of the gymnastics skills and desires of the young gymnasts, not the dreams of their parents. Girls who become bored or simply do not enjoy learning gymnastics with high attention to detail, after a time, may be placed in an appropriate recreational class. This allows parents and coaches to determine whether or not competitive gymnastics is a good fit prior to making a more serious commitment. Participation in the developmental program starts with a lower level of commitment. The time and financial commitment is one that may not be right for all families. The level of commitment required to participate in competitive gymnastics is greater than in recreational gymnastics. This path is not right for all kids, and that is okay. It is important that future gymnasts have the necessary basics to learn upper level skills safely and properly. This program gives us the chance to see how the girls respond to greater expectations of time, effort, good behavior, etc. While skills are a big factor, the child's desire to learn becomes an even bigger factor. Participation in the developmental program will allow higher levels of training in strength, flexibility, and skills that may lead to future participation in gymnastics competitions. This honor is reserved for students who show an above average ability and an extraordinary enthusiasm for the sport of gymnastics. Girls are placed in Hot Shots or Mighty Mites by coach recommendation or through an evaluation process. The developmental program is by invitation only and is designed to provide an opportunity to young girls showing potential to become competitive in gymnastics.
