2026–2027 AAU Competition Team
Proud to Represent Cape Fear Gymnastics
We are excited to celebrate our 2026–2027 Cape Fear Gymnastics AAU Competition Team!
Our competitive program gives athletes the opportunity to take their gymnastics further while continuing to train in the positive, supportive, and encouraging environment that defines CFG.
We want our gymnasts to become strong athletes — but we also want them to develop confidence, independence, discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and a genuine love for the sport.
Our competitive program focuses on:
- Skill development and proper technique
- Strength, flexibility, and conditioning
- Confidence and independence
- Teamwork and sportsmanship
- Consistency and perseverance
- Individual athlete growth and goals
Competition is an exciting part of being on team, but at CFG, the journey matters just as much as the results.
We celebrate progress, encourage athletes through challenges, and help each gymnast continue working toward their own individual goals while being part of something bigger — their team.

The Path to Team
Our Pre-Team Developmental Program
Does your gymnast dream of competing one day?
At Cape Fear Gymnastics, athletes don’t have to start out ready for competition. Our Pre-Team Program provides a developmental pathway for gymnasts who show interest and potential in taking their gymnastics further.
Through Levels 1–3, athletes progressively develop the skills, strength, flexibility, confidence, focus, consistency, and training habits needed for competitive gymnastics.
Movement through the pathway is based on individual readiness rather than simply age or time spent in a level.
Level 1
Building the Foundation
Level 1 introduces athletes to the foundations needed for our developmental team pathway.
Gymnasts work on body positions, strength, flexibility, fundamental gymnastics skills, and proper technique while becoming comfortable with a more focused training environment.
The goal is to create a strong foundation that athletes can continue building on as they progress.
Level 2
Building Skills & Consistency
Level 2 athletes continue developing their gymnastics foundation while working toward more advanced skills and greater consistency.
Training places additional emphasis on strength, flexibility, technique, focus, and independence as gymnasts begin preparing for the increased expectations of the next stage of our team pathway.
Level 3
Preparing for Competition
Level 3 is the final step in our Pre-Team Program and is designed for gymnasts preparing to transition onto the CFG Competition Team.
Athletes continue refining skills and technique while developing the strength, confidence, focus, consistency, and training habits needed for competitive gymnastics.
Athletes who demonstrate readiness for team may transition from Level 3 into our competitive program each April.
Moving Through the Team Pathway
Every gymnast develops at a different pace.
Our coaches continually evaluate athletes throughout the Pre-Team Program and make advancement decisions based on factors including:
- Skill readiness and technique
- Strength and flexibility
- Consistency
- Focus and coachability
- Confidence and independence
- Training habits and commitment
- Overall readiness for the next level
Advancement is coach-recommended and based on what we believe will best support each athlete’s continued development.
Our goal isn’t to move athletes through the pathway as quickly as possible — it’s to make sure they’re prepared, confident, and ready for what’s next.
