Our recreational programme has different focuses, term 1's main focus is working towards our annual club championship competition which is a friendly inhouse competition, term 2 terms main focus is our performance awards and term 3 focuses on skill acqusition.

Performance Gymnastics Awards consists of four categories: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond, with Bronze being the first for gymnasts to complete and Diamond being the last. Within each of these categories there are six levels of award to achieve with gymnasts starting on ‘Level 1’ and concluding with ‘Level 6’. Each level of award consists of ten different skills ranging from core gymnastics proficiencies to elements involving strength, flexibility, co-ordination and balance.

After completing each level of award (e.g. Bronze Level 1) a certificate is achieved. Once a gymnast completes all six levels in a category (i.e. they achieve their Bronze Level 6 award), they are rewarded with a medal.

We also have three awards available for pre-school gymnasts. They complete their Bronze Pre-School, Silver Pre-School and Gold Pre-School awards and earn their medal upon completion of the latter. 

​

We choose this because : 

- Artistic gymnastics is well-reflected, apparatus (e.g. vault/beam) based skills are included at all levels of award
- Purpose designed to utilise the present-day gymnastics environment, training tools (flick modules/beam pods etc) form a part of our awards 
- The awards include core gymnastics skills as well as productive elements to develop strength, flexibility and coordination all of which are designed with the overall progress of gymnasts in mind
- Pair or group balance work is included at all levels of the award scheme, allowing gymnasts to both have fun and develop their teamwork skills
- The scheme begins at pre-school level and extends all the way up to approximately level 5 skills (round-off flick, handspring vault etc), giving the gymnasts a clear method to track their progression in the sport
