The Advanced Rec program is designed for gymnasts looking to take their skills to the next level while continuing to develop in the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) program. Athletes in this group will learn and refine a variety of gymnastics skills throughout the year, with a focus on progressing in all areas of WAG, including balance beam, vault, uneven bars, and floor exercise.
There are two groups within the Advanced Rec program, each designed to meet the needs and abilities of different age groups:
A fun and supportive group for younger gymnasts who are ready to refine their basic skills and start learning more advanced techniques.
For athletes who are ready to build on foundational skills and work toward more complex gymnastics elements, both individually and as part of a team.
This program offers a great balance of skill development, performance opportunities, and fun for gymnasts who are passionate about the sport and preparing for a competitive setting.
The Women’s Developmental Program is designed to provide athletes with a strong foundation of gymnastics skills, focusing on safety, technique, and progression. This program helps gymnasts build the basic skills needed to eventually move on to higher levels of gymnastics.
Athletes in the Developmental Program will participate in our annual Christmas Show and Year-End Fun Meet, but please note that this program is non-competitive, so athletes do not attend outside competitions.
Each team in the Developmental Program focuses on age-appropriate skill-building, teamwork, and personal growth. This program provides an encouraging environment for athletes to develop their gymnastics abilities at their own pace, without the pressure of competition.
The Competitive Program at Grande Prairie Gymnastics offers athletes the flexibility to progress at their own pace while receiving personalized coaching. The goal of this program is to provide gymnasts of varying abilities and commitment levels with a rewarding and challenging gymnastics experience.
Athletes may compete in either the Xcel Program or the CPP (Canadian Proficiency Program), depending on their skill level and coach’s discretion. Placement in one of these programs will be based on the athlete’s abilities, ensuring they are in the program best suited to their development.
Athletes in the Zero Gravity competitive team may have the opportunity to compete at events across Alberta and Canada. The decision of which athletes will attend competitions each year is made by the Grande Prairie Gymnastics coaching staff, based on performance and readiness.
The Zero Gravity competitive team is designed for dedicated gymnasts who are committed to reaching their full potential. This program provides an opportunity to compete at high levels, refine skills, and represent Grande Prairie Gymnastics with pride.
