Cal Elite’s gymnastics program is based on a progressive performance based curriculum that leads the nation in innovation, creativity and athleticism. At Cal Elite, we teach gymnastics with an aim toward performance. Instead of teaching rote cartwheels or back handsprings across the floor, our students learn high level gymnastics skills incorporating music, theatrics, props, bars, vaults, beams, trampolines, ropes, trapezes and more. Twice a year, all of our athletes participate in a gym wide athletic SPECTACULAR! Our productions are staged and choreographed with costuming, props, sound, backdrops and all the elements of a professional performance. Our expectations are high and our students excel! Come see why our athletes continue to improve and enjoy their gymnastics year after year.
