EnVision Gymnastics’ Competitive Programs

The EnVision tagline is that “We see ability in EVERY child.”  EnVision was founded with the belief that gymnastics is the root of all sports.  Gymnastics, when properly taught, can be the vehicle with which to deliver life-long knowledge of physical fitness.  Jumping, rolling, running, strength and flexibility are the basic aspects of all sports and are certainly not reserved only for the elite few athletes.  Every child can benefit from and deserves gymnastics training at the level that they can achieve.  Many of EnVision’s gymnasts excel at other sports, as well which is why we also offer Competitive Cheerleading (Vortex All-Stars) and the newer sport of Acro and Tumbling.

Physical skill development is certainly a bi-product of a good gymnastics and cheer programs.  These sports, however, are an age-limited experience.  You do not see too many over 25’s flipping and swinging away their afternoons.  With this in mind, EnVision has made it a goal to insure that our programs deliver more than just physical development.  Moving through our various levels of Gymnastics, Competitive Cheerleading and Acro, the gymnasts will develop self-esteem, self-motivation, self-discipline, dedication, determination, work ethic, time management, team work, team spirit, leadership, sportsmanship, respect for danger, respect for others, poise and grace.  When our students are done flipping and cheering, they will have established a base of life skills that will undoubtedly assist them through all of their non-flipping and cheering years.

Gymnastics, Competitive Cheer, and Acro at all levels demand dedication, commitment and a desire to be the best that you can be.  We work to insure that EnVision athletes build healthy attitudes about themselves and their sports experience.  This includes the development and clarification of issues concerning values, interpersonal communications, growth, personal responsibility, and personal as well as group goal setting.  Beyond the athletic skill and fitness EnVision athletes develop, it is the mental soundness – the intellectual fitness that is of the greatest value.

The staff and administration at EnVision truly believes that it takes the proverbial “village” to help develop a child.  We take each child’s character development, as well as their physical and intellectual development very seriously.  We seek to work in tandem with athletes’ parents to maximize each child’s experience.  All of our coaches bring something unique to the team experience – we respect those differences and teach the athletes to respect the differences as well.

SELECTION FOR TEAM

Placement on any of EnVision Gymnastics’ competitive or developmental teams is by invitation only.  There are three ways in which a child can receive an invitation to join our team:

1. They can come to our program from another team program. In this case the athlete is invited to attend practice with a team group closest to their level during which time they are evaluated as to skill level, aptitude, and attitude.
2. Children within our class program are “spotted” because of superior interest or skill level and are extended an invitation to practice with the competitive team or developmental team program.
3. Open tryouts may be held in which any interested child may try out for placement within a competitive or developmental team.
4. Our coaching staff determines the placement of athletes within our developmental and competitive programs based upon the following criteria:

*skill level                    *mental attitude            *success at current level            *potential for success at higher level           *individual desire                       *individual confidence and spirit               *competitive experience                         *work ethic           *age           *physical abilities-strength/flexibility       *attendance        *parental support of child and program
