Development Program & FIG Team
​The Rhythmic Development Program is a developmental program that helps prepare athletes from the beginning stages of Rhythmic until the time they are ready to make the move to the Elite Program. The Rhythmic Development Program covers the competitive levels 3-8. Following Level 8, girls transition to using the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG)'s scoring structure to prepare them for future international competition.
This invite-only program is made up of girls who have demonstrated to coaches that they have high potential for excelling in rhythmic gymnastics because of their flexibility, strength, focus, and drive for mastery of the sport. Girls in our program are highly accomplished at all levels, having won numerous awards locally and nationally, and have been invited to national and development training camps.
​
The Development Program Team requires year-round commitment to all practices. Girls are expected to attend practice regularly during the academic year, as well as summer camps and additional holiday trainings. All classes are subject to a $100 annual fee.
​
If you have prior experience in rhythmic gymnastics and are interested in an evaluation to see if you would be a good fit for our Development Program Team, please email info@dianasrhythmicclub.com.
