Acrobatic Gymnastics
This is a relatively new program for Altadore and has been a part of the strategic plan for the Demo Team. This is a very good opportunity for young athletes to learn more about the sport of Acrobatic Gymnastics. Acrobatic Gymnastics can be described as “a full expression of the world’s gymnastics cultures.” (International Gymnastic Federation) This area of gymnastics includes Tumbling, Dance, and Partner or Group exercises. These athletes will; have fun, learn proper techniques for Acro Gymnastics and develop their coordination and agility skills.
Acro Team – Ages 10 and up
This program is geared towards athletes who have prior Acro Gymnastics experience. These athletes are dedicated to fitness through the sport of gymnastics, desire to reach individual goals and work within a team environment. Acrobatic Gymnastics is a Team sport, therefore, the athletes need to be committed and aware of their teammates. The long term goal for this team is to become a competitive program; therefore the expectations of the athletes will be the same as for our competitive athletes.
- Participate in a special performance at both Gymfest and Gymnaestrada. These may be held in either Alberta or nearby provinces.
- Holiday/special event recital(s).
- Various demos throughout the Calgary area, pending coach approval.
- These athletes will train three times a week for 3 hours at a time. (these training days will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4:30-7:30, but again, this may change depending on coach and gym availablity)
