- The competition classes have a greater focus on advanced skill development and technical proficiency. In these classes, athletes work with highly qualified coaches to prepare them for competitions.
- While everyone is welcome to attend any of our general classes, athletes wishing to attend the competition classes join with a much higher commitment.

What are national-level trials?
Our coaches assess children when they register their interest to participate in competition Gymsports.
When your child gets selected our coaches determine which level they are best suited for and will suggest to you the expected days and hours of training required for that gymsport and level.
This is a very exciting time for a gymnast as they begin to make new friends, train in the same environment along with higher-level athletes and most importantly learn new skills.
Our coaches programs focus to encourage children to challenge themselves and work on perfecting skills rather than simply achieving them. Physical reparation/conditioning is the focus in every session and your child will be monitored to see how they adapt to the training sessions.
If required we may develop behavioral plans in consultation with parents for some athletes who tend to lose their focus and struggle to concentrate or listen to instructions.
