What is Progression to Purpose?

 

This is a program designed specially for AGDA and offers the following advantages for your child:

• Teaches gymnastic skills from beginner steps through to advance.
• Each child in this program commences in the skill appropriate class and is taught to develop gymnastic skills relevant to each apparatus.
• Each child’s progression is individually monitored during class and is judged during our testing week at the end of each term, or at our Fun Comp held in June.
• During a Term not only are the gymnasts learning gymnastics skills on each of the apparatus they also learn a routines.  These routines are performed during testing week held at the end of each term or the Fun Comp in June (see events calendar).  Each child is scored on the performance of their routine.  At the end of the testing session each child receives a P2P Report Card and is presented with Ribbon coloured coded to the overall score they have received on all apparatus. They must achieve a certain score dependent on the class they are in to pass the current Award.
• This program is a ten step program. At the end of the program the gymnast will be considered to be at a level three/four gymnast when viewed in the light of the National program.
• To advance from one award to the next the participant must attend their lesson during testing week at the end of each term, or the Fun Comp in June for testing. Please see the Calendar of Events for dates and more information.
