 Philosophy
- This program continues to emphasize fun and physical
development. Basic skills are reinforced while learning
many new advanced 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 - Completion of the 'CanGym' Silver badge
is required prior to registering.
