TOPGUN Gym's roster for the 24-25 season has been filled.* 

Tryouts for the 25-26 season are tentatively scheduled for March 28-29, 2025.

Athletes interested in team should ask their coach if they qualify to participate in a pre-bronze (pre-competitive) class. Pre-bronze will focus on perfecting technique and introducing athletes to conditioning, competition etiquette, and choreography in gymnastics in order to prepare athletes for tryouts.

*Military families relocating to Fallon with an athlete who has already began competing may contact Coach Jenna at TOPGUNgymnastics@gmail.com about team placement and/or training at any time of year.

 At a minimum, athletes must have all of the following skills consistently to qualify for team:

Minimum Skills to Compete Bronze

Athletes train between 4 and 8 hours per week depending on their level. Athletes can expect 3 nights per week in the gym. Gold and Platinum athletes may have additional practices, including Saturdays, to meet training needs.

TOPGUN Gym puts team athletes in groups of no more than 6 athletes to a coach. By minimizing time waiting in line we are able to maximize athlete training in a shorter time block than some other gym environments. Most of our practices are only 2 hours per night.

In the Xcel program it is common for athletes to spend 2 years per level. Because the Xcel program offers a lot of flexibility, athletes can repeat a level but compete new routines and incorporate more advanced skills during their second year.

On average athletes will spend 1 year at Bronze, 2 years at Silver, 2 years at Gold, and 2+ years at Platinum. Some athletes will move through levels more rapidly or more slowly.

At this time TOPGUN Gym does not offer training in Diamond or Sapphire levels.

In the 24-25 season competition fees are as follows:

Bronze athletes: $165/month

Silver/Gold athletes: $195/month

In the 25-26 season Gold and Platinum tuition may be adjusted to reflect additional hours in the gym.

For first year Bronze athletes, competition fees can range from $1500/year to $1700/year depending on the number of meets you attend.

Returning athletes may reduce cost by reusing some gear from the previous year.

Competitive fees include: Entry fees to competitions, Floor routine music, Custom competition leotard, warm up jacket, slide shoes, and team competition bag, Warm up legging and shorts, Personalized award banners and pins, and personalized choreography sessions (Gold+ only).

Team athletes compete in 4-7 competitions per year, depending on athlete level. In most years 3-4 of those competitions are in Reno, while the rest require travel as far as Las Vegas. Gold and higher athletes may qualify for Regionals; Regionals could be held anywhere in CA, NV, AZ, or UT.

Pre-season begins in October, Regular season begins in January, State Championships are in March, and Regionals are in May.
