Gymnastics is recognized by the International Olympic Committee as a foundation sport because it plays a crucial part in the development of fundamental movement patterns and sport skills. Early participation enables children to enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle for a lifetime.” – Long Term Athlete Development Model and Gymnastics Canada.
In 2012 we aligned ourselves with the Gymnastics BC Play Gymnastics Program - a Gymnast Development Model based on the Long Term Athlete Development Model in Canada. It was the result of years of research and has been broken down to include all ages and levels of our sport. We were very happy with the results of this program!
Our Wings programming is listed below. In it, we continue to follow the suggested ages, skills, and progressions based on this well established model.
We are very excited to carry on with this program as we feel that it reflects our Wings philosophy of fun and fitness and will help Wings continue to offer the highest quality of programming available. Should you have any questions regarding this or any aspect of our club, please do not hesitate to contact us.
