The IPDGC offers several types of competition for the girls in our programs. 

Our Compulsory division utilizes the USA Gymnastics Junior Olympic program routines, with some rule modifications to ensure safety for our gymnasts.  Our competitions are done in an invitational style, which gives flexibility to teams' competition schedule.  We offer competitions for Levels 2 through 6, beginning in September and concluding traditionally in December with a state meet. 

Our Tumbling division gives younger gymnasts the opportunity to practice routines, and gives them a sample of competitions in sometimes smaller settings.  Our tumblers compete from October to February, and must be a minimum of 3 years old. 
 

Our Optional division, which is similar in concept to the USA Gymnastics Level 7, utilizes the Illinois High School Association rules, with some modifications to ensure safety for our gymnasts.  Gymnasts are divided into 6 different levels, depending on skill and ability.  They advance at their own pace based upon their scores at the competitions.  The season begins in January, and concludes in May with a state meet. 

Introduced to the conference in 2003: our Drill Team division, which encompasses CHEER squads, DANCE squads, POM squads, and BATON twirlers (individual or group).  This division is based upon AAU Cheerleading rules, Bill George Cheerleading rules, and NBTA rules.  We have several divisions available, based upon squad size and ability.  The Drill Team season runs from January through April, and concludes with a state meet.
