Program Prerequisites - No Gymnastics Experience Required
Current CLASS OPTIONS/REGISTER
Philosophy - Recreation programs are designed first and foremost to be fun. They also provide superior physical development (flexibility and strength), challenging activity and a measure of success and accomplishment for the child
Structure - Our 14 color/level ‘CanGym’ program has been modeled after the Gymnastics
Canada Gymnastique (GCG) 'CanGprogram. Instruction is provided on all Olympic gymnastics events plus trampoline. Each class is streamed according to age, award level and/or previous experience. Boys and Girls are coached in separate groups. There is a maximum student to instructor ratio of 8 to 1. (Please ensure your child attends in proper attire and with long hair pulled back)
Accomplishment - Progress reports are provided to students upon fitness assessments dates, followed by our 'CanGym' medallions. The actual medallion is Gold in colour while the colour of the sticker represents progress being made.
Each time a student receives an award (Step 1, Step 2, or Mastered) he/she has the opportunity to either:
a) advance within a color/level or
b) move on to the next color/level.
Within each level there are an average of 36 gymnastics skills that are distributed among the floor exercise, rings,vault, parallel and uneven bars, high bar, trampoline, pommel horse, and balance beam. These skills progress in their complexity as students master each successive medallion. Note: The school retains records on the progress of each student to assist in class placement in future sessions.
