Recreation Program

The Recreation Program at Capital City believes in creating a fun, fitness experience while learning the fundamentals of gymnastics. People of all ages are able to come into the gym and be physically active while exploring different kinds of movement such as jumping, twisting, swinging, climbing and springing. Gymnastics improves strength, flexibility, fine motor skills, balance and coordination while having fun. The skills learned at gymnastics benefits each individual when participating in all other sports.

Each gymnast involved in recreational gymnastics at CCGC is encouraged to reach their own potential. We believe that gymnastics teaches children that they can succeed in things they at first thought they could not do and aids in building confidence and self-esteem. Recreational gymnastics is intended to be fun and make children feel good about themselves. The skills and determination young gymnasts learn can benefit them in all aspects of their lives. We encourage, in all participants, the development of personal character, good sportsmanship, honesty, courage, persistence, and dedication.

The Capital City Recreational Gymnastics Program offers an extensive program of classes for young children including Tumblebugs (age 12 to 24 months), Parent and Tot classes (age 2 to 3 years), and Tot ( age 4 to 5 years). For those young children who demonstrate skill and enthusiasm in the sport of gymnastics we offer Super Tot and Elite Petites classes.

For children over the age of six, we offer the CanGym badge program. The CanGym badge program was created for boys and girls ages 6 and up by Gymnastics Canada. CanGym is a progressive program that is universal throughout most gymnastics clubs in Canada. It enables your child to earn badges for their gymnastics achievement in the presence of their qualified instructor. It focuses on the fundamentals of gymnastics while incorporating fitness and fun. There are 14 different colored badges in the CANGYM program. Each badge consists of approximately 30 different skills. Program skills have been selected to ensure a clear progression from one badge to the next, leading to the key skills that are contained in the GOLD badge. The key skills in this program can be considered "building blocks" for more advanced gymnastics, but can also stand alone as excellent recreational level skills.

Capital City strives to offer a wide range of gymnastics experiences for all interests and levels. For those gymnasts who are seeking more of a challenge, we offer Achievement Classes. We also offer Cheerleading programs and Trampoline and Tumbling programs from Beginner to Advanced levels. We offer a variety of different Drop In sessions for those who want to stay fit and practice skills in a safe supervised environment. Adult/Teen Drop-In is offered twice a week and family Drop-In is offered every Sunday.
