The Level 3 team is the beginning competitive team at ACPR. Girls on the Level 3 team are 6 years old and older and practice 3 days/week (9 ½ hours/week). On this team the girls learn the routines and skills required to compete in the USA Gymnastics JO program at Level 3. Girls spend much of their time gaining strength, flexibility and learning the Level 3 compulsory skills and routines. For most of the girls, it is their first more serious competitive experience and the girls are guided through that experience in a nurturing, supportive environment by our very experienced coaching staff. Level 3 girls typically go to 7 or 8 competitions per season within the state of Maryland with the goal of qualifying for and competing in the Maryland State Championships usually held in May. ACPR has a strong history in Maryland of competing at State Championships and routinely produces individual Maryland state champions and State Championship teams at Level 3. The head coach of the Level 3 team is “Ms. Dana.”
