Program Prerequisites - Stable round off must be completed.

Philosophy - This program continues to emphasize fun and physical development with a greater emphasis on mastering 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. (Please ensure your child attends in proper attire and with long hair pulled back)

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.

Structure - This program is an introductory course for teenagers with little or no previous gymnastics experience. Classes are scheduled concurrently with Advanced Recreation classes so that beginner teens will be with students of similar age. Our 14 color/level ‘CanGym’ program has been modeled after the Gymnastics Canada Gymnastique (GCG) 'CanGym' national program. Instruction is provided on all Olympic gymnastics events plus trampoline.

Structure - This program involves a more enriched and intense gymnastic workout. It is recommended that these children attend a minimum of two times per week. More frequent training sessions provide the necessary repetition the gymnast will require to maintain this skill level. Performance students are invited to take part in displays and other promotional activities. Boys and Girls are coached in separate groups. Students in the Performance program may eventually be invited into one of the higher level competitive programs.

Coach assessments are ongoing and also required at the time of Enrollment.

Philosophy - The main objective of these programs is to 
provide students with an opportunity to maximize their potential while maintaining the highest quality of all other programs listed in this brochure. We do not support any coaching styles or training methods that do not contribute to the psychological development of the athletes. 

Prerequisites - A quarterly email news letter will be sent out inviting all existing students to take part in our trials for entrance into the Performance (6-12 yrs), Pre-competitive (6-18 yrs), and Competitive (6-18 yrs) programs for boys and girls. There are several groups of each category. Students coming to us from other gyms can enter these programs too, via an assessment exam (call the gym for details).

Program Prerequisites - No Gymnastics Experience Required!

Philosophy - This class time has been exclusively reserved for registered homeschoolers to facilitate a non-competitive environment where the gymnastics curriculum is taught without regard to a skill acquisition timeline. This is a rare opportunity for homeschooled children to take part in an activity that is conducive to the homeschool philosophy.

Structure - Although it is recommended that students take part in our 14-level 'CanGym' Burgundy through Gold award system, not all groups may want to attend the required ten classes. Groups who do not wish to take part in the medallion program will be instructed according to the same curriculum as those who do, but without the awards. A 10 to 1 student/teacher ratio provides a lower cost without sacrificing the quality of instruction. Instruction is provided on all Olympic gymnastics events plus trampoline. This program is coed.

Accomplishment - Progress reports are provided to students upon fitness assessments dates, followed by presentation of our 'CanGym' medallions (if this option is chosen). 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:
