Boys & Girls Competitive Gymnastics
When a gymnast has progressed through the recreational Stepping Stone Award System they may then choose to move into the competitive Levels Stream. Levels gymnasts have the opportunity to compete in club competitions at the end of each term and are eligible for selection to compete in regional competitions.
The program includes:
- Strength exercises
- Flexibility exercises
- New skill learning
- Routine learning and practice (in competition each gymnast is required to perform a routine on vault, bars, beam and floor)
The program is only as competitive as the individual wishes to make it. The emphasis is on providing a happy and stimulating environment allowing the individual to reach their maximum potential.
The Sydney Olympic Park Gymnastics Club has acheived a high level of success in regional, state and national titles. At the Women's Artistic Gymnastics Regional Championships in September 2008 club gymnasts placed first in 7 of the 8 divisions.
The current Pommel Horse world champion, Prasanth Sellathurai, represents the Sydney Olympic Park Gymnastics Club.
