Summer is the perfect time to focus on YOU — your growth, your strength, and your gymnastics goals. While the regular season may slow down, summer is when champions are made. It’s your chance to go back to the fundamentals, strengthen your basics, and finally unlock those new skills you’ve been dreaming about…while having fun!
We created the Summer Gymnastics Glow Up Blueprint to give you structure, motivation, and a clear path forward. Whether you’re working at home, in open gym, or during summer training, this blueprint gives you 12 essential skills to target — with progressions designed to help you move step-by-step toward success.
👇 Scroll down for your full skill list and how to track your goals!
This blueprint is designed to work on both basic and upskills one week each, for the summer. Make sure you stay consistent – consistency is key! This is not just a random list of drills. Each skill included is semi-challenging but safe to work on over the summer, especially for motivated. You’ll work through each skill using progressions that gradually build strength, technique, and confidence and set a focus, a SMART goal, work on the progressions each day and evaluate at the end of the week.
