PRE-COMPETITIVE TRYOUT
Our Precompetitive Programs are designed to develop a strong foundation of gymnastics and prepare young athletes for potential participation in our competitive programs.
 
We believe the early developmental stages of gymnastics are an integral part in becoming a high level gymnast and develop many life skills. In this fundamental learning stage, our Precompetitive Athletes develop in the areas of:
  • Self-esteem
  • Confidence
  • Time management
  • Overcoming challenges
  • Coordination
  • Focus
  • Balance
  • Agility
  • Body awareness
  • Alignment
  • Basic body positioning/shaping.
  • Strength
  • Flexibility
 
CGC seeks out athletes who have the right attributes to cope with the physical and mental demands of the sport, as well as the commitment and drive to reach their top potential. Some of the things we are looking for at the tryout include:
  • Above average strength and flexibility
  • A high level of coordination and balance
  • Solid, athletic body type
  • Good posture and alignment
  • Fast twitch muscle with speed and explosiveness
  • Fearlessness and competitiveness
  • Psychological maturity
  • Ability to listen carefully, follow directions, apply and retain corrections
  • Mental and physical toughness
  • Out-going and confident personality
  • Communication skills
  • A willingness to participate and try new things
  • Expressed desire to be a gymnast
Our structured classes teach athletes to be disciplined, but are also designed to be fun, enjoyable, and further their love of the sport. Regardless of a possible advancement in our program, the tools with which they master here will help them excel in any athletic endeavour. Gymnastics is the basis of all sports.
