Team
LI Elite Gymnastics is an Elite training center, offering outstanding gymnastics for beginners through elite level athletes. LI Elite Gymnastics is a USAG participating gym offering Junior Olympic (J.O.) programs from level 2 to level 10/Elite.
At LI Elite Gymnastics we pride ourselves on our compassion for each and every child who walks through our front door. Our gymnasts learn how to control their bodies and to push themselves to heights they thought were unreachable… literally.
We strive to show our gymnasts how to be outstanding students inside and outside of our facility. We make sure to give all of our kids a good balance between freedom and structure during our classes in order to help them learn how to be successful in both types of environments. We provide a multitude of classes for children of all skill levels – traditional recreational classes for beginners, and intermediate classes for those that are more advanced.
Both recreational and competitive gymnastics programs promote strength, flexibility, endurance, confidence, fitness and fun. While LI Elite's Achievement Programs (non-competitive) are fitting for anyone, competitive programs usually require an invitation to join after being evaluated by a qualified coach.
Our competitive teams start at Level 2 and progress all the way to Elite. The gymnasts progress by age and ability in our program. Each gymnast is looked upon as individual athletes who will move through the levels of our sport based on their ability. We continuously challenge each gymnast and advance her gymnastic skills within her capability. Our experienced coaching staff is passionate about making champions, as well as making the journey fun along the way!
