Competitive Programs

Gymini Crickets:
This group is designed for 4 to 6 years who have shown an aptitude for gymnastics. The goal of the program is to encourage young athletes in a fun manner to develop the basic skills, discipline, strengths and flexibility required to become a competitive athlete.  There are no competitions for this group.

Ontario Development Program:
This group is designed for 5 to 9 year olds who have graduated from the Gymini Cricket Program and/or who are new to competitive gymnastics.  The goals of this group are to develop in a fun manner the basic skills, strengths and flexibility required for gymnastics. Athletes compete in competitions based on their ability to perform different strength and flexibility skills (such as rope climbing, splits etc).  Competitions are designed such that athletes are not ranked against each other but rather are rated on their individual abilities. Athletes that are 5 or 6 years old in this group do not compete but rather participate in a showcase where they receive recongnition for their participation but are not judged. Various apparatus skills are introduced (floor, beam, vault and bars) but there are no competitions based on these apparatuses.  It is anticipated that there will be two competitions per year.

Ontario Competitive Program:
This group is designed for 7+ year olds. This group utilizes the strength, flexibility and skills gained in previous programs to compete on the four apparatus of the women’s artistic gymnastics: beam, bars, floor and vault.   It is anticipated that there are approximately three competitions per year.
