Gym fun (Children 5 - 12)
Aussie Gym Fun is a modified gymnastics program for youn children. The program is to introduce simple and safe gymnastics through a progressive six level (certificates) scheme. The emphasis is placed on doing simple things well, so that gymanastics can be introduced to young children. This means 'fun activity' not 'fear activity'.
Central to Ausie Gym Fun are the ideas of equality and participation and threrfore the program is suitable to both boys and girls, regardless of their abilities or previous experience in gymnastics. The program ensures that gymnastics need not be dangerous, complicated, frustrating or scary, as children learn skills and enhance physical abilities (fitness, flexibility, strangth and endurance) and also balance, coordination, agility and spatial orientation through a safe progressive program.
Gym Skills
Gym Skills is a progressive program based on four levels (certificates of increasing difficult skills, specifically designed for the youth of today. The program follows on from Gym Fun, and once again the ideas of equality and participation are central to the program. The gym skills program includes individual skill learning as well as partner and group activities. They are aimed at improving and /or estending confident body management.
WAG & MAG - Womens/Mens Artistic Gymnastics - Levels 1-3
Is composed of four components: vault, uneven bars, beam and floor. Once a gymnast has learnt a skill the challenge then is to have the gymnast learn it so it becomes automatic, with good form and confidence. The National Levels Scheme has been designed to assist young gymnasts to develop basic skills and at the same time provide a competitive stream based on age and ability. The system allows the gymnast the flexibility to move from level to level based on his or her own ability. The levels can be assessed at competition or within their own club environment without competing.
