USAG DEVELOPMENTAL GIRLS TEAM PROGRAM
The USAG Developmental Team program was developed with the belief that all athletes, regardless of their potential, must have a solid foundation of basic skills to advance safely. The program allows the gymnast follow the progression system at their own pace.
To compete in a sanctioned competition, an athlete must be a registered USA Gymnastics Athlete Member.
