TNT’s Competitive programs the guidelines, rules, and policies set by USA Gymnastics. The program follows the belief that all athletes must develop a solid foundation of basic skills in order to advance safely at their own pace to reach their full potential. With proper instruction, gymnastics and cheer are very safe sports. At TNT we develop skill progressions safely and master the fundamentals to provide a good foundation which prevents injury.
