Inappropriate behaviour or language from gymnasts or parents at any time will result in the dismissal of the gymnast from class.
Misuse of equipment will not be accepted.

Optional Spectacular

The Optional Spectacular program is a program administered and overseen by Gymnastics WA.
The program gradually increases the degree of commitment for each gymnast.
Emphasis in the lower levels is on fun and skill development.
We believe that learning in a fun atmosphere is important for the young gymnast to develop a love for the sport. As a gymnast progresses, technique is continually emphasized and more importance on training skills is added.

Badge Testing In House

Optional Spectacular

Badge testing is the system we use to evaluate the progress made by our gymnasts.
Badge testing is NOT a competition.
Badge testing is done in front of one judge, the skill performed will be given a pass or needs more work evaluation, gymnasts may be asked to repeat the skill by the judge.
Gymnasts will usually begin in level 1 or 2.
Once they have achieved their badge they can then begin working on routines to compete at that level.
ie. A gymnasts achieves his/her level 1, 2 badge he/she is now eligible to compete in a competition at that level.

Competitions

Optional Spectacular

Competitions are not badge testing but an event where the gymnast competes against other gymnasts in his/her level, performing routines on all apparatus in front of a panel of judges. The gymnast will receive a score out of 10.00 depending on how well they perform their routines and may win ribbons and medals.
N.B. After achieving a badge not all gymnasts will have enough confidence to compete so will not always be entered by their coach.
We hope this answers some of your questions. Please see your coach if you have further questions.
