What is the commitment level for the Rec Team?
The Rec Team is an annual program with the freedom to drop/in out on a monthly basis. It is best for Rec Team students to continue all year as they are learning skills and routines. However, students do have the ability to take a break if they need to and join back later in the year. The Rec Team practices for 2 hours once a week.
When does the Rec Team Compete?
The Rec Team will have at least 3 in-house competitions a year. The Rec Team will compete against other Dana Mannix Rec Team gymnasts. Rec Team gymnasts are not required to compete in the competitions and can choose to compete in just one competition, all of them, or none of them. The competitions are a great way to show family and friends what they gymnast has learned. Typically the competitions are held in the early fall, winter, and spring.
Athletes will rotate through the three main T&T events:
-
Trampoline – Learn to jump, twist, and flip while developing balance, body control, and spatial awareness.
-
Double Mini Trampoline – Sprint down a runway, jump onto a small trampoline, and perform skills before dismounting with a safe and controlled landing.
-
Rod Floor (Tumbling) – Build strength and coordination while practicing flips, handsprings, and passes down a spring-loaded tumbling track.
This program focuses on proper progressions, safety, and fun, while giving athletes the opportunity to experience all three disciplines of T&T. It’s perfect for kids who love to bounce, flip, and stay active, whether they’re brand new to gymnastics or looking for a new challenge.
