They were more than friends - they were a team. The new gymnastics club was going to be terrific. Cindi, Lauren, Darlene and Jodi knew they'd be friends from the first day they met. Coach Harmon said they'd be in a real gymnastics meet right away, even if they were only beginners. Now they had to learn how to be a team.

It's the Pinecones' very first meet - and they're competing against the Atomic Amazons. That team is tough! It's a real challenge for all the gymnasts, especially Cindi. She'll have to perform a very difficult move on the uneven bars - the Eagle. It's not enough to do it right - she'll have to do it with a style all her own. Cindi wonders if she can meet the challenge, for herself and for the team.

Jodi has the chance to star in an important gymnastics demonstration. But if her schoolwork doesn't improve, she won't be allowed to perform. It seems so unfair! Jodi knows she's a good gymnast, but when it comes to school... she just feels dumb. She just can't do it! Can the rest of the team convince her not to give up?

Darlene finds it difficult to step out of her famous football player father's shadow.

Some things never change. Becky still loves to see the Pinecones lose. That's been happening a lot since Ti An joined the team. The former Atomic Amazon is a good gymnast, but she always messes up at meets What's really strange, though, is that one of the girls on the Atomic Amazon team always does exactly the same vault as Lauren. It's got to be more than a coincidence. Lauren thinks there's a spy in the gym.

After her broken leg heals Cindi's confidence is still shaky.

Mean Becky, a sore loser, is determined to spoil Jodi's Halloween party plans and schemes to create an acrobatic apparition

Darlene can't believe what's happened to the team. They're missing practices, slacking off at meet, and sniping at each other. They just don't seem like the same Pinecones anymore. Where's their winning spirit? Something's got to be done to save the team - and fast. Now that Darlene' the captain, she's determined to find a way - but how?

Lauren is crazy about gymnastics, and she has to admit she's got a crush on Patrick, her coach. Lately, though, the whole family has been busy with her mum's campaign for city council. Mum and Dad hardly seem to have time for anything else—they're even hinting that Lauren's too busy for gymnastics. It's just not fair! Will Lauren's parents make her give up gymnastics—and Patrick?

When the boys' gymnastics team sets up shop in the gym right alongside the girls', the Pinecones flip over their cute new neighbors, but Cindi is sure that having the boys around will be no good for Pinecone team spirit

When her gymnastics team's good luck charm disappears, Ti An tries to find out who took it in order to keep suspicion from tearing the team apart.

Jodi's mother is getting married and the whole team is excited about the news—except for Jodi. She doesn't want her mother to marry Barking Barney, the pet store owner, and she doesn't want Nick the Pest for a stepbrother, either. Is there any way out of this mess?

There's a new boy in the gym. Chris is a super athlete and he likes Darlene. All the girls know he' going to ask her out but Darlene says she doesn't like him. Does she really mean it? As it turns out, that's not what she means at all. Chris and Darlene are heading for their first date!

The whole team has read about Heidi Ferguson. But when Lauren met her she didn't seem too happy about being a celebrity. And now she's in the hospital - but why? She doesn't seem very sick. Lauren can't figure it out. Heidi has everything... she's famous... she's a world-class gymnast. What's wrong with her?

When Cindi objects to the way a rival team is treating Darlene, she is determined to put the competitors in their places

Everybody knows Jodi is no chicken - but lately she panics every time she gets on the beam. Why is she so scared all of a sudden? Is it the new trick she's working on - or something else? Jodi can't figure it out. It's driving her crazy - and so is her coach. The more he tells her not to worry, the scarier it gets.

It's just the hottest event at Sweet Willie's Sports Camp, and it will be the highlight of the Pinecones' visit. Teams blast away at each other with talc bombs and squirt guns to capture a secret fort. It all depends on strategy - it's exciting and lots of fun. Of course, whenever Becky is involved, you can bet there's something sneaky going on. This time she turns a game into a chance to make a play for Darlene's boyfriend.

He's Dmitri Vickerskoff, the famous Hungarian gymnastics coach. Big feet, big mouth. big shot - big deal. Lauren isn't impressed. She doesn't like him giving orders in her gym where Patrick is her coach, and she doesn't like him calling her "little bug". Patrick is thrilled to have Dmitri helping out, and the other Pinecones like him, too - and it's really bugging Lauren!

Being a champion world-class gymnast looks exciting, but it's a lot of pressure, too. That's what got Heidi into trouble before. Now she has a chance to make a come-back - to prove she's got what it takes. But Heidi's got to prove it to herself first, and she'll need some help from her friends.

When her father loses his job, Cindi must quit gymnastics until a special scholarship, set up by Darlene's dad, gives her a second chance

When her prolonged antics at practice suddenly hurt her standing on the gymnastics team, Jodi is determined to prove that she can compete with the best of them, but her sudden resolve could alienate other team members.

Over her bout with anorexia, Heidi Ferguson feels she is ready to compete again, and when she is picked for the Olympic team, she realizes her dream could come true.
