 Philosophy
- This program continues to emphasize fun and physical
development with a greater emphasis on mastering skills.
 Structure
- Entrance is through assessment only. Our 14 color/level
‘CanGym’ program has been modeled after the
Gymnastics Canada Gymnastique (GCG) 'CanGym' national
program. The Advanced Recreational program uses levels
8 through 15 of this program (Silver through Gold) and
fitness progress reports are provided between badge/level
assessments. Two classes per week are recommended,
although the option of one class is available. Instruction
is provided on all Olympic gymnastics events plus trampoline.
Boys and Girls are coached in separate groups and streamed
according to age.
Accomplishment - Progress reports are provided
to students upon fitness assessments dates, followed
by separate assessments for 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.
Program
Prerequisites - A strong roundoff is required as demonstrated
through an entrance assessment.
