CAN GYM PROGRAM Ages 6+
We follow the CanGym program developed by Gymnastics Canada. Girls and boys learn the basics of skills & drills on vault, floor, bars, beam, tramp & conditioning. Children earn ribbons as they progress through levels. There are 12 levels & ribbons - red, tan, bronze, purple, blue, turquoise, silver, orange, yellow, green and gold. The gymnast has completed a ribbon when he/she has "mastered" each skill in that level. Some ribbons may take only one session to complete, while some may require multiple sessions.
Red - Must be 6 by start of class.
Introduction to our CanGym badge program. Gymnasts are introduced to basic gymnastics skills, including balances, forward and backward rolls, beginner cartwheels, beginner handstands, swings, hangs and basic trampoline skills.
Copper – Must be 6 by start of class Prerequisite: Tan
Gymnasts strengthen their foundation for the fundamental skills of handstands, cartwheels, pullovers and bridges. Skills are broken down to allow gymnasts to learn the various components of each of these skills, while building strength and endurance.
Bronze - Must be 6 by start of class Prerequisite: Copper
Gymnasts progress from working on individual skill components to connecting those elements into completed skills. Bronze focuses on intermediate gymnastics skills, including pullovers, handstands, bridges, and power hurdles. Conditioning activities are used to increase strength, endurance, power, and flexibility.
Purple- Prerequisite Bronze Passed
Gymnasts continue through intermediate gymnastics skills with the objective of increasing strength and endurance through skill combinations. Round-offs are introduced.
Blue- Prerequisite Purple Passed
Gymnasts begin advanced gymnastics skills and refine intermediate skills, focusing on body positions, strength, flexibility and power. Inversions, or ‘flight skills’ are introduced in the form of handsprings. Twisting skills are introduced on trampoline.
Turquoise + Prerequisite Blue Passed
Gymnasts refine advanced gymnastics skills such as handsprings, round-offs and dismounts.
