Silver Stars requires completion of Bronze and an evaluation for successful demonstration of all Bronze skills listed on the Bronze Progression Skill chart. Gold Stars requires completion of Bronze and Silver and an evaluation for successful demonstration of all Bronze and Silver skills listed on the Bronze and Silver Progression Skill chart, and is for gymnasts who want to keep working on developing skills and work towards advancement such as Sapphire and Advanced Tumbling.

The program offers recreational classes for girls and boys ages 12 months to 18 years, with placement into recreational or developmental classes depending on the child’s goals and evaluation for appropriate placement if the child has previous gymnastics experience. Multi-class discounts are available, and there are no sibling discounts, financial assistance, or make-up classes offered. The program maintains a 1:6 preschool coach-to-gymnast ratio, a 1:8 Bronze and Silver class coach-to-gymnast ratio, and a 1:10 coach-to-gymnast ratio for all other classes, with space limited to maintain these ratios and advance registration required. Supervised two-hour Open Gym gives adults the freedom to be kids again or allows older athletes to maintain or learn new skills and train on all apparatus for a body weight workout. Gymnastics Summer Camp runs weekly with themes including Surfing into Summer, Superheroes, Olympics, Disney, Safari, Under the Sea, Galaxy of Stars, and Summer Finale.
Girls Inc. states that its programs are evidence-based and delivered by trained professionals who focus on the development of the whole girl in an affirming, pro-girl environment, and describes itself as the longest-running girls’ leadership program. The mission statement for Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara is, “We’re building a new generation of strong, smart, and bold leaders in our community.” Girls Inc. reports that 95% of Girls Inc. girls and teens say that Girls Inc. programs allow them to collaborate and work together, 96% know they will graduate from high school, 77% are happy with how their bodies look, 89% say they have been physically active in the past week, 90% believe they will graduate from college, and 83% say they can use what they know to solve “real-life” problems in their communities. The organization states that its partners expand opportunities and provide vital support to all girls.
A testimonial from Lily, age 15, states, “Gymnastics has definitely impacted who I am as a person. I have learned through conditioning, hard work, and long practices that teach me how to push through to achieve my goals. I am stronger emotionally because of competing (which can be pretty nerve racking!) and learning how to face my fears.”
