 Philosophy
- The emphasis is on fun, and learning basic gymnastic
movements and vocabulary.
Structure
- Safe physical development, attention to body placement
and skills appropriate to the age group are stressed.
The majority of these skill progressions are basic to
movement patterns found in our 14 color/level ‘CanGym’
program modeled after the Gymnastics Canada Gymnastique
(GCG) 'CanGym' national program.  Children
develop confidence with elements containing rotation,
landing, balance, flight, swing and spring. Boys and
Girls are coached together. There is a maximum student
to instructor ratio of 8 to 1. No parental assistance
is required.
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.
