Developmental Program Girls Teams
Our Competitive Girls Teams
The Girls Developmental Program (formerly known as J.O.) for girls is designed for competitive gymnasts who wish to advance and potentially compete in the highest levels of the sport. The training at Docksiders is structured so that gymnasts can safely and successfully advance from Level 3 up to Level 10. Docksiders gymnasts have competed at the highest levels of competition with great success, including winning twelve individual national titles. A number of Docksiders have also gone on to compete in the NCAA on full athletic scholarships.
Level 10
Docksiders Gymnastics is well known for its top notch Level 10 gymnasts. Our Level 10's train 5 days a week for 4 hours at a time for a total of 20 hours per week. They travel around the country to top level competitions throughout the nation. Our program has incredibly strict standards and a very high level of difficulty. College recruiters have come to expect the best from gymnasts who come from Docksiders, and they are highly sought after by the top universities in the NCAA. It takes a very dedicated and determined individual to train at this high level. Docksiders has established a reputation of excellence and the Level 10's live it every day!
Level 9
The Docksiders Level 9 program is the next step towards high level gymnastics. Our Level 9's train 20 hours a week alongside our Level 10 Team, and all strive to become Level 10's. In the effort to build towards Level 10, our Level 9s compete some of the more difficult routines in the state. Docksiders has sent many Level 9 gymnasts to the Regional Championships and Eastern National Championships. We are proud to have had numerous Regional and National Champions at Level 9, and many gymnasts who have gone on to become champion Level 10s.
