Women's Artistic Gymnastics
Enrolment in competitive programs is by selection only.
Women's Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) is the perfect sport to develop confidence and creativity, for sport and for life. It requires co-ordination, agility, balance, power, flexibility, strength and courage. WAG develops posture and confident body movement, including the ability to land safely and rewards effort, resilience and tenacity. Women's Artistic Gymnastics incorporates expressive and dynamic skills on four apparatus: Uneven Bars, Beam, Floor and Vault.
Uneven Bars - requiring strength, precision, rhythm, concentration and courage; the gymnast moves from one bar to the other, alternating grip changes, releases and regrasps, saltos and changes of direction with circular swings.
|
Beam - balance at its most extreme, adding an extra element to the acrobatic sequences, gymnastic jumps and turns. It is an exercise not only of flexibility, but also of concentration, rhythm and expression.
|
Floor - a creative combination of expressive dance, daring acrobatics and powerful gymnastics performed to music, where each gymnast communicates her own personality and style.
|
Vault - a 20m sprint to the vaulting table followed by springing onto and off the hands and landing perfectly on the other side. Extra rotations at any point increase the difficulty.
