Welcome to Sun Country, the premier training ground for top gymnasts in the Gainesville area since 1987! We offer dynamic developmental and competitive team programs for boys and girls ages 5 to 18.
Our dedicated teams practice rigorously and travel nationwide to compete in USA Gymnastics (USAG) and XCEL-AAU competitions. Many of our athletes advance to collegiate-level competition, showcasing the excellence and commitment fostered here at Sun Country – a community where potential is realized and champions are built!
Customized Competitive Options to Best Fit your Gymnast
The USAG program offers a structured pathway for gymnasts to progress from developmental levels to competitive stages (Levels 1-10) through dedicated coaching, personalized training plans, and a supportive team environment.
Structured Development:
The USA Gymnastics program follows a structured developmental and competitive team training approach endorsed by the national governing body for gymnastics in the U.S.
Competitive Pathway:
Athletes in this program have the opportunity to progress through levels defined by USA Gymnastics, leading to competitions at local, state, regional, and national levels.
Regulated Standards:
The program adheres to specific standards set by USA Gymnastics, ensuring consistency and quality in training and competition.
Passion meets performance through our XCEL AAU Program. Designed for gymnasts who want to embrace the thrill of competition and excel in their sport, XCEL AAU is the perfect place for those seeking a competitive atmosphere with more flexibility.
Alternative Competitive Option:
The XCEL AAU program provides an alternative competitive option for gymnasts who may not follow the traditional USA Gymnastics competitive track.
Customizable Routines:
XCEL offers a more flexible level and routine structure compared to USA Gymnastics, allowing gymnasts to compete at a level that suits their skill progression.
Emphasis on Flexibility:
The XCEL program recognizes that gymnasts may want to pursue other athletic or academic goals. By requiring fewer training hours, it provides a platform for gymnasts of varying skill levels to participate and enjoy the sport.
Our competitive gymnastics program balances rigorous training with a supportive, positive environment where coaches center technical safety and foster life skills through the sport. Guided by a philosophy of nurturing each athlete’s unique strengths, both the USAG and XCEL pathways are customized for individual progress.
Beyond physical development, our program instills essential values such as a growth mindset, teamwork, and discipline. At Sun Country, we believe in positive progress—every step forward is a victory, no matter the size. By participating in our program, gymnasts not only advance in their athletic abilities but also learn invaluable life lessons that extend beyond the gym.
Whether your child is just starting or aiming for elite competition, our diverse gymnastics programs are here to support their journey every step of the way. Looking for more info on our recreational programs – View Sun Country Sports Gymnastics
