Mini-Hops Girls Competitive Compulsory Gymnasts End Their Season at the State Championship

End of the regular season for Mini-Hops girls’ compulsory gymnast and getting ready for next year.  With the dedication of Coaches Gabrielle Grier and Becky Schneider, level 3 team had its best season in years.  There was only one meet which level 3 did not take home a first place trophy, however still received a 2nd place trophy.   Many of the gymnasts will probably move up a level so it will be interesting to see what next year’s season conveys.  Applauses to coach Gabrielle, Becky and their support staff which made it happen right.

As gymnasts move up in levels, so does the degree of training and difficulties in routines.  There were many challenges this season with the levels 4 and 5 to include injuries and newly developed routines on uneven bars, beam and floor.  However the girls in those levels have honed their routines and are looking forward with great enthusiasm to next season.

Although the season is over for the compulsory girls, they have one more fun meet and will be joining their older Optional teammates at Disney World in Orlando, Florida in January 2014.  Looking forward to see how they do.
