Team Gymnastics
inMovement Gymnastics Teams
Our Team Programs consist of PreTeam, Recreational Team and Xcel Competitive Team. All of our team athletes have shown discipline, internal motivation, a desire to compete and an overall love for gymnastics. Practices require a higher level of focus and time commitment with greater emphasis on conditioning and routines than school aged intensive classes. All of these programs are invitation only.
PreTeam
8 – 14yrs
PreTeam is a program designed to prepare gymnasts for the Xcel competitive team at inMovement. This program is invitation-only and offered to Gym 3 and Hot Shots gymnasts who have mastered most of their skills and show an interest in competing. Gymnasts will practice under the Xcel team coaches focusing on achieving their requirements, building the strength to accomplish these skills, and will learn routines as they practice. Xcel PreTeam practices 2.5 hours twice a week.
Recreational Team
8 – 18yrs
Recreational Team offers gymnasts the chance to experience the excitement of competition in a low-pressure environment. Designed for students currently enrolled in Gymnastics 2, Gymnastics 3, or Pre-Team, this program includes invitation to participate in up to four local meets per season (held between January and April).
Participants will learn and perform routines on all four women’s artistic gymnastics events and get a taste of what it’s like to compete.
- Pre-Team athletes will train for meets during their regularly scheduled class.
- Gymnastics 2 & 3 athletes must enroll in an additional one-hour weekly practice at our Bok location to dedicate time to routine development and preparation.
Competitive Team
8 – 18yrs
Philly InMovement’s Gymnastics Team participates in the USA Gymnastics Xcel Program. USA Gymnastics is the largest gymnastics program in the United States. It is the national governing body for the sport of gymnastics. The Xcel Program is designed to attract and retain a diverse group of athletes offering alternatives and flexibility to gymnasts and coaches. It provides gymnasts of varying abilities and commitment levels the opportunity of a rewarding and fun gymnastics. At Philly inMovement, Xcel gymnasts compete in the following levels: Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. As of late 2024, Philly inMovement, is now only offering an Xcel Program for our team students. Our gymnasts compete in 2 – 6 competitions a year from December to May from in town to a couple of hours away.
“Philly InMovement is the perfect place to bring your child for gymnastics classes and competition, if so desired. They teach them not only gymnastics, but also to always try their best, be kind to others, and to listen. The staff are not only amazing gymnasts themselves, but are great teachers as well. […] I trust them with my child fully. Overall, I could not have found a better place for my child to take gymnastics.”

Fast-Track (4-8yrs) is comprised of Firecrackers and HotShots. It is a growing developmental program designed to progress gymnasts to the competitive team at an accelerated pace. This program is invitation only and offered to students that have demonstrated exceptional skill progression, strength, and work ethic in our regular school aged and Short Wheelers classes. These classes are structured differently than a regular class, and focus on conditioning/strength, shaping, flexibility, form, and discipline. This allows for greater focus on the specific skills each child needs to advance, while also providing additional practice time. For more information on our Fast-Track Programs click here.
