Flipside Gymnastics
The Flipside of Gymnastics
Flipside
Philosophy - The objective of this program is to provide an affordable quality gymnastics experience for daycare and school organizations.
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 themedallion 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 - care providers are encouraged to assist our instructors. Instruction is provided on all Olympic gymnastics events plus trampoline.
Children must attend in proper attire and with long hair pulled back
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:
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.

Program Prerequisites - No Gymnastics Experience Required!
Philosophy - Whether your goal is to learn beginner level skills such as a handstand, cartwheel, or handspring or to reestablish the ability to perform previously learned gymnastics skills, the breadth of this program facilitates all ability levels and objectives.
Structure - Students are divided into groups of similar experience
and learning objectives. Emphasis is placed on floor exercise and trampoline skills. By attending classes twice per week, the stretching and strength training in each class will provide the physical preparedness gymnastics requires. All classes are coed.
Accomplishment - Students will receive regular fitness assessments that will describe progress made towards meeting their fitness goals.
Philosophy - Recreation programs are designed first and foremost to be fun. They also provide superior physical development (flexibility and strength), challenging activity and a measure of success and accomplishment for the child. Our training camps are completely dedicated to helping students improve their gymnastic skills. Unlike many other gymnastics camps we don't use fillers, such as crafts, to fill the time allotted for the camps. Instead, we allow gymnasts more time to work on skills and improve their strength, balance and endurance as well. Our artistic camps are open to gymnasts of all levels, age 6 and up, including those in Foundations, Pre-Interclub, Interclub, Pre-Comp,
Structure - Our nationally certified staff will introduce exciting new skills that encourage balance, coordination, flexibility, and strength, to both the experienced and beginner students. Children are grouped according to their age and gymnastics experience. Crazy weekly themes and fun gymnastics games are incorporated into each daily session. All students should bring a snack.
