Development Squad
For developing gymnasts
When gymnasts of any age show real determination in Fun classes and have potential to move on quickly, our talent scouts offer them a place in one of our Skills Development Classes.
These 2 hour classes aim to perfect the basic moves that the gymnasts have already been taught, add new skills and introduce more of the all important body conditioning!
​
We divide the groups into age groups of Junior Development (ages 5-7) and Senior Development (age 8+).
​
As soon as the right body shapes are achieved and gymnasts fulfil the assessment criteria required, they are offered a place in our Silvers Intermediate Class.
The aim of these classes is to bridge the gap between fun gymnastics and gymnastics with a more competitive edge.
We use the Independent Gymnastics Affiliation (IGA) criteria and work towards our Development Classes achieving a good Level 9/low Level 8 standard.
