Gymnastics Team Placements
All competitive athletes must partake in team placements. Please be aware that not all athletes are required to compete. Our athlete pathways include our Competitive Pathway and our Progression Pathway. Our Progression Pathway is for athletes who wish to participate AND progress through skills and levels, or who wish to just enjoy the sport for the sake of enjoyment. See our pathway below. Note that this season we are adapting our pathways so that ALL athletes progress at the right speed with a Perfection Before Progression policy. We need athletes to be capable of safely completing skills with great technique and without fear or pressure to progress beyond their comfort level. This means that all team names and skills at all levels have changed dramatically. This will help all athletes feel a sense of achievement at their level. Our competitive athletes will also perform at their best. Please see full details for our team placement on the information pack below.
