Rise Gymnastics is a fun packed programme from 'British Gymnastics' that provides a progressive journey through recreational gymnastics.
Here at Shrewsbury Gymnastics Academy, we follow the below progress/testing schedule for our recreational gymnasts:
AUTUMN TERM : Rise Core Skills medal testing
SPRING TERM : Core Apparatus medal testing
SUMMER TERM : Routine performance opportunity at Annual SGA Club Competition for all gymnasts @ Lilleshall National Sports Centre
Please see the programme of skills below; gymnasts are required to achieve 80% to pass. Naturally gymnasts will do other skills in addition to this, but this scheme is excellent progress tracking, and the gymnasts gain a great sense of achievement from it.
