Recreational Gymnastics
Recreational Program
The Recreational Gymnastics is our 45-minute non-competitive Classes. However, gymnastics are often specially selected to compete in floor and vault competitions.
Gymnasts participate in our proficiency awards scheme, which parents can then purchase badges and certificates after each level has been completed. Recreational proficiency awards start at level 8 and work their way down to level 1. As the levels go down, the harder the skills get, so gymnasts spend time perfecting each skill. Recreational groups also take part in our gymnastics displays within the club.
Although the Recreational Gymnastics classes are mainly floor and vault, gymnasts also get the opportunity to train on additional apparatuses, which for the girls include BEAM & BARS plus TRAMPETTE & TRAMPOLINE. For the boys, additional apparatuses include HIGH BAR, RINGS, PARALLEL BARS, & POMMELS, plus TRAMPETTE & TRAMPOLINE.
