BACKGROUND INFORMATION

It is important for parents to appreciate that gymnastics is an ‘Early Specialization Sport’ – which means that gymnasts peak/ are at their best very early in their career, which means they must train hard when they are younger to reach their best.

While participating in a wide variety of sports and activities is extremely important to the overall development of a child and can help with certain areas of acrobatics, at this international Competition Squad Class level of acrobatics, the time needed to prepare the body and perfect skills will inevitably means children will have to specialize. We, the coaches, want to provide every opportunity for the gymnasts to reach their full potential, and compete at a high standard.

The gymnast’s full potential can only be successfully, and healthily, achieved if all the aspects of training are looked after, including adequate sleep, diet (healthy eating) and injury prevention.

All the above means that if you want your child to achieve National / International success, it will take a lot of hard work by all concerned, coaches, gymnasts, and parents.


This policy forms part of the club’s policy brief which includes but is not limited to the codes of conduct and athlete development polices.
