program

| Classes are provided for 5-7 year girls and boys
who have progressed through the junior gym
quickly. The program is
based on conditioning, body shape preparation and orientation. It is
presented in a challenging and exciting way, so that the activities
reinforce sound basic technique, but are also fun. Grading days are held at
the end of each term and the gymnasts aim to demonstrate improvement in
the key areas of strength, flexibility and shaping. It is advisable that
the gymnasts remain in the program for several terms.
If suited to the
competitive stream, the gymnast will be recommended for pre-level 1 or
pre-elite at around the age of 6, otherwise the natural progression is to
the Recreational programme. |
