How does EGA evaluate interested gymnasts and why, also how do I pick the class?

EGA staff evaluates the gymnast by what they know and how well they understand the skill, even if they can’t perform it. We also look at the child’s age and try to put them in a class so they will be around girls or boys their same age and skill level. After we go to each event and ask them to balance on the balance beam or do a forward roll on the floor, we will suggest what class we feel they are ready for, and then we will suggest a free trial class to see how they like it.
