The Fairland Boys Competitive Gymnastics Team
The Fairland Boys Gymnastics Team is a USA Gymnastics (USAG) competitive program that we have designed around overall fitness and skill development. Our coaching staff does this in a safe, positive, and challenging environment. We have athletes at all competitive levels: compulsory (levels 4-7) and optionals (levels 8-10). The team practices from 2 - 5 days a week, or 6 - 25 hours, depending on the level. Every year our athletes compete in local qualifying meets, sectional, state, regional, national and invitation only meets.
New families join the team by invitation. A boy may come to the attention of the coaching staff through his performance in a recreational class, or a parent might request a try out. The coaches will assess of the student's ability and potential by inviting him to attend one or several practices with the group level he would most likely join. As well, the coaches will take into account the current size of the team roster.
Team spaces are not automatically retained from one season to the next. Once on the comptetive team, the gymnast's progress and development will be reviewed annually. Final decisions regarding team program placements are made by the Program Director and Team Head Coach based on participation, acheivement and attitude, and are subject to approval by the Gymnastics Director. Which team members that are selected for competitions, special teams, extra practices and special events are at the discretion of the Program Director.
Our competetive team are members of the USAG, subject to its bylaws and codes of conduct. We are part of USAG Region VII, which spans approximately 300 miles throughout Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, and West Virginia. Most gymnastics meets in which Fairland competes are within the state of Maryland and are governed by the USAG Maryland Men’s Junior Olympic Gymnastics Program. Higher-level gymnasts may also compete in invitational meets out of state.
