RECREATIONAL
Our recreational programs are designed to introduce the sport of gymnastics to children of varying age groups. During this structured class, your athlete will spend time on each of the apparatus (related to their program), some of which include: the Vault, Uneven Bars, Parallel Bars, High Bar, Beam, Floor, Rope & Rings, Pommel Horse, TumblTrak, Trampoline, Mini-Tramp, and our Foam Pit.
Our Coaches will help your athlete develop important skills including balance, flexibility, strength, endurance, coordination, agility, control and spatial awareness through swings, springs, landings, locomotion, stationary positions and rotations. In addition to athletic development, these programs provide a great opportunity for personal and social development all in a fun and exciting environment!
Our recreational programs focus on proper skill progressions and techniques while learning to interpret verbal and non-verbal messages through our creative and challenging circuits. The athletes will follow a specifically designed program to progress and meet their gymnastics goals. In contrast to our competitive programs, the recreational programs are not competitive in nature, have short-duration sessions and are more play-oriented. These programs are perfect as an introduction to gymnastics, continuous development in the sport as well as offering a great opportunity for children and youth to interact with one another, make new friends, increase their self-confidence, challenge themselves and have fun while developing their gymnastics skills.
We accept ongoing registration for our Sessions throughout the year even after the session has started, as long as there is still space available in the class and the fees are pro-rated every week.
Girls Recreational Classes
Jr. Girls: 6 Yrs - 9 Yrs old
Sr. Girls: 9 Yrs old +
Our Girls Recreational classes are split by age to better organize how the classes run, but the content is similar in both programs. All Girls Recreational programs use our own GNGC Level system in order to progress through all of the fundamental gymnastics safely and at their own pace. All of the levels are progressive and designed to benefit participants of all ages and abilities.
Advanced Recreational Classes
9 Yrs old +
Once the gymnasts have progressed through the Recreational GNGC Levels, the next step is our Advanced Recreational Program. This program has its own set of levels to challenge the gymnasts further as they learn more advanced skills in the sport of gymnastics.
Boys Recreational Classes
Jr. Boys: 6 Yrs - 9 Yrs old
Sr. Boys: 9 Yrs old +
Much like our Girls program, the Boys program is split by age and follows our GNGC Boys Level system. The levels are centred around the 6 boys apparatus, but still include the basics of gymnastics and progress with the abilities of the participants.
Mixed Recreational Classes
Coed: 6 Yrs old +
Much like our Girls program, the Boys program is split by age and follows our GNGC Boys Level system. The levels are centred around the 6 boys apparatus, but still include the basics of gymnastics and progress with the abilities of the participants.
