Saltos is the alternative optional team program at Gymnastics East. It is a unique program that meets the needs of many gymnasts by providing a team atmosphere and competition experience without the strenuous commitment of time and finances of the J.O. program. Rec. Opt is a program that continues to grow, not only at Gymnastics East, but around the region as well.
Saltos is comprised primarily of former compulsory team members who excel in other activities as well as gymnastics and don't want to be tied only to one sport. The optional nature of the program also allows gymnasts to develop original routines that fit their own talents and personalities. All team members must be evaluated for skill, strength and flexibility before joining the team. Our Pre-Saltos group is a developmental program comprised of gymnasts with an excellent work ethic and strong basics that do not yet have all of the skills required for Saltos but are a good fit for the Rec. Opt team program. Pre-Saltos are considered part of the overall Saltos team program. This group is based strictly on instructor recommendation and evaluation by the team coaches. The Saltos team works out at the Bellevue gym.
