Competitive Gymnastics Programs in Marin County
GymWorld offers two competitive gymnastics pathways for young athletes in San Rafael and across Marin County:
-
Team-in-Training for gymnasts who are building toward competition
-
GymWorld Team for those ready to compete at the USAG level
Both programs develop skill, strength, and character in equal measure.
Team-in-Training |
Pre-Competitive Gymnastics
Big dreams start here. So do strong handstands.
Team-in-Training is GymWorld's pre-competitive program — the ideal bridge between recreational gymnastics and full competitive team membership. Designed for gymnasts of all ages who are ready to level up, this program focuses on the foundations that matter most: strength, flexibility, form, and mental focus.
Athletes train 2–3 days per week in a structured yet encouraging environment where hard work and high-fives go hand in hand. Coaches identify and develop each gymnast's strengths while preparing them for the demands of competitive gymnastics — at whatever pace is right for them.
If they're ready, we're ready for them.

Competitive Gymnastics
Strength in Skills. Power in Character.
GymWorld's competitive team programs give gymnasts the structure, coaching, and community they need to thrive as athletes — and as people. Through consistent training and goal-driven coaching, our athletes develop elite skills alongside resilience, discipline, and genuine team spirit.
We Offer Two USAG-Sanctioned Competitive Pathways
Junior Olympics (JO) Program
A rigorous, structured pathway for gymnasts committed to high-level competitive gymnastics.
-
Compulsory Levels (2–5): Athletes learn and perform standardized USAG routines, building a consistent foundation of skills.
-
Optional Levels (6–10): Athletes develop individualized routines within USAG guidelines, showcasing their unique strengths and artistry.
XCel Program
A flexible and rewarding competitive pathway for gymnasts who want the excitement of competition with a more personalized approach to skill development.
-
Levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum
-
Who it's for: Gymnasts who thrive with a bit more flexibility in how they train and compete
Both programs foster the same core values: commitment, sportsmanship, and the joy of being part of something bigger than yourself.
More Than a Team - A Community
At GymWorld, competitive gymnastics is about more than trophies and routines. It's about showing up, pushing through, and growing — together. Our coaches bring genuine care and expertise to every session, and our athletes leave every practice stronger than they arrived: in their bodies, their minds, and their confidence.
Whether your child is stepping into Team-in-Training for the first time or competing at Level 10, GymWorld is where Marin County gymnasts become the athletes — and people — they're meant to be.
