GYMSPORTS LEVELS PROGRAM

GymSport Levels Program

WHAT IS THE GYMSPORTS LEVELS PROGRAM:
GymSports FNQ offers a progressive Recreational Program that follows the Australian Levels Program. Levels 1 & 2 are completed through our GymFun and GymSkills Programs and the GymSports Levels Program allows gymnasts to progress through Level 2–5. The program allows members to develop and progress in their gymnastics at their own pace while also having time to participate in other activities/sports. All gymnasts moving into the GymSports Levels Program will begin training Pre 3 while continuing to practice their Level 2 skills with more of a focus on routines and preparing them to be ‘competition ready’. The jump in skills from Level 2 to Level 3 is significantly more complex and it can take time for some gymnasts to master the Level 3 skills so clubs in the FNQ Region have included a Pre 3 Level at which gymnasts can compete.

Due to the nature of the skills being taught and the physical preparation required (strength & flexibility) it is recommended that gymnasts attend two or more classes to maximise what they are learning and achieving. The expected rate of progression of moving through the levels is dependent on the individual gymnast, particularly in this program and gymnasts should not compare their rate of progression to other gymnasts in their class or competitive squads. The expected rate of progressing through each of these levels is 2–3 years depending on the gymnast’s natural physical ability, work ethic, complexity of the skills and training hours.

Recommended training for GymSports Levels gymnasts:
Level 2 – Pre 3: 1–2 lessons per week
Level 3: 2–3 lessons per week
Level 4–5: 3–4 lessons per week
All classes are 2–hour sessions offered 4 nights per week – Monday to Thursday from 5.30–7.30pm

Competition Calendar

During the year gymnasts will be offered an opportunity to compete at events held within the Cairns region as well as attend two compulsory events at South Cairns – Winter Warm Ups and Halloween. These two events are compulsory for all GymSports Levels Gymnasts and will be invoiced with your term Fees. Participating at these events will provide the opportunity to formally ‘grade’ for a level badge.
The Junior Competition Season generally runs from May through to the end of October.

Although we use the term ‘compete’ gymnasts do not compete against other gymnasts in Level 2 and Pre 3. Similar to the Assessment Day format, gymnasts in these levels will receive a participation medal and ribbons colour coded to their individual performance. In Levels 3–5 the format of their competition transitions from certificate based to competitive gymnastics where they will have the opportunity to compete against other gymnasts and potentially be awarded from 1st–6th place in each
apparatus and overall.
