Cangym
2 Hour Classes for ages 6 to 18 

A National Skill Development Program for recreational gymnasts.  Cangym classes for ages 6-18 are offered as two hour classes.  Children can register for more than one class per week if they so choose.  The Cangym program includes three levels - Bronze, Silver, and Gold.  Each level consists of four different badge levels for a total of twelve different badge levels within the program.  In the Bronze level, there is a focus on mastering fundamental movement patterns.  In Silver, the focus is on mastering fundamental skills on Men's and Women's artistic apparatus.  The focus in Gold is mastering the identified target skills.  The groups of skills have been selected to ensure a clear progression from one badge level to the next.  All athletes must master the skills in each level before moving on to the next as each skill can be considered a building block for more advanced gymnastics.  During the class, children are led through a warm-up and stretch to start and then move to the equipment.  At this level, children are split into gender specific classes.  Boys have seven events for their level including; high bar, vault, pommel horse, rings, floor, trampoline, and parallel bars.  The girls have five events including; beam, uneven bars, floor, vault, and trampoline.  Every child will receive a report card as well as a badge of completion or a participation ribbon at the end of each session.
