GYMNASTICS TEAM
Aerials Gymnastics
The Greensburg YMCA Aerials Competition Team’s goal is to provide a positive, safe, and fun environment where each gymnast can learn and grow as an individual gymnast and a teammate. We striveto have each gymnast enjoy being a team member, achieve their individual competitive gymnastics goals to the best of their abilities, and simply enjoy gymnastics. Earning a place on the team or progressing to a higher competitive level is a credit to each gymnast’s skill, attitude, and potential.
The Greensburg YMCA Aerials Competition Team is an invitation-only program following the tryouts held in May or an evaluation throughout the calendar year. The developmentally appropriate curriculum will follow the USAG Women’s Developmental Programs: 2021-2029 Compulsories (Levels 1-5), 2022-2026 Optionals (Levels 6-10), and 2022-2026 Xcel Program (Xcel Bronze – Xcel Sapphire).
Each program participates in the Western Pennsylvania YMCA Girls Gymnastics League. Gymnasts compete in Dual/Tri-Meets, League Invitationals, League Championships, State Championships, and National Championships each season.
The opportunity starts here for any gymnast interested in competing for the Greensburg Aerials!
