Program Prerequisites - No Gymnastics Experience Required!

cLICK HERE TO REGISTER NOW

Philosophy - This class time has been exclusively reserved for registered homeschoolers to facilitate a non-competitive environment where the gymnastics curriculum is taught without regard to a skill acquisition timeline. This is a rare opportunity for homeschooled children to take part in an activity that is conducive to the homeschool philosophy.

Structure - Although it is recommended that students take part in our 14-level 'CanGym' Burgundy through Gold award system, not all groups may want to attend the required ten classes. Groups who do not wish to take part in the medallion program will be instructed according to the same curriculum as those who do, but without the awards. A 10 to 1 student/teacher ratio provides a lower cost without sacrificing the quality of instruction. Instruction is provided on all Olympic gymnastics events plus trampoline. This program is coed.

Accomplishment - Progress reports are provided to students upon fitness assessments dates, followed by presentation of our 'CanGym' medallions (if this option is chosen). 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

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. Our training camps are completely dedicated to helping students improve their gymnastic skills. Unlike many other gymnastics camps we don't use fillers, such as crafts, to fill the time allotted for the camps. Instead, we allow gymnasts more time to work on skills and improve their strength, balance and endurance as well. Our artistic camps are open to gymnasts of all levels, age 6 and up,  including those in Foundations, Pre-Interclub, Interclub, Pre-Comp,
