Edge Academy News

Updated Girls Academy Skill Cards

With the start of the fall session updates were made to the Girls Beginner through Advanced Beginner skill cards. Many of these changes were made to clarify how the skill should be performed and others changes are to add new skills to levels. Our students' skill progress is important to us, and clear expectations is the best way to accomplish that goal!

Similar changes will be made to the Boys Academy and Tumbling & Trampoline programs in the upcoming weeks. If you have any questions regarding these changes, please don't hesitate to ask!

Preschool News

GO EDGE!!

TOPs National Testing Qualifier

Over the summer, Edge participated in State testing for TOPs (Talent Opportunity Program), a USAG program designed to identify and develop young, talented gymnasts through strength, power, speed, and flexibility exercises and testing. From the State testing, gymnasts may qualify to National Testing where they vie for a spot on the National TOPs Team, and an opportunity to train with the National Team staff, at the National Training Center outside of Houston, Texas.

Edge gymnast Samantha Fredrickson qualified to the National TOPs testing and attended TOPs National Testing, where athletes are evaluated on skills as well as strength and flexibility. She broke many personal records at testing, and received many compliments from some of the national team staff! She got to work out at the same gym as former U.S. Olympic champions such as Nastia Luikin and Shawn Johnson!

Congratulations Sam!!
