• Improving balance and stability skills
• Developing body control to improved coordination and proficiency during movement and physical activity

Freestyle Skill Week

“You’ve Got Skills”

Skill week occurs at the end of each term where we provide the opportunity for gymnasts to demonstrate their skill improvement and acquisition based on our curriculum for each stage.
 
Selected skills are filmed and your son or daughter will receive a badge relevant to their badge level. These skills are evaluated, and stars are awarded for individual accomplishments via our online “You’ve Got Skills” activity log. Your child’s achievements are shared with you via our customer portal.  If you wish to have a certificate printed or downloaded, please contact our customer service team and we are happy to arrange this for you. Each term the gymnasts proceed to the next stage, of which there are 12 in total.

Skill evaluations

Skills are evaluated post lesson. Star ratings are based upon the following:

1. Introduced
2. Attempted
3. Good
4. Very good
5. Excellent

Skill Filming

We film the freestyle skills for the following reasons

• To provide consistency across all venues and classes
• Team Leaders can monitor and review individual progress and overall program quality
• To determine ongoing coach education needs

Once the videos have been reviewed, they are permanently deleted, and this occurs daily.

What if my child is absent and not available to attend the filming lesson? 

• You can book to attend our courtesy filming make up sessions
• These can be booked online via our customer portal

What if my child misses filming all together? 

• They still are recognised as having progressed through the badge level during the term and will also receive a badge, however no stars will be awarded.
