LEVELS & TARGET SKILLS

At SWL Gymnastics, we utilize a structured, four-tiered system to guide skill development and class progression, which includes beginners, intermediate, advanced, and squad levels. Each level has a unique set of target skills that gymnasts must master in order to advance.

Gymnasts are expected to demonstrate proficiency in the specific skills of their current level. Upon achieving these skills to a high standard, they may be offered the opportunity to progress to the next level. This structured approach ensures continuous growth and development throughout their gymnastics experience.

In addition to our main program, we also have development and mini-squad classes. These specialised squads follow a separate system tailored by our head coaches to cater to individual gymnasts and their progression towards competitions.

Our ultimate goal is for gymnasts to reach the advanced and squad classes, where they will train and prepare for external competitions. The rate of progression through the levels is influenced by the number of hours dedicated to training. Additionally, our website offers home exercises that complement in-gym training and provide further opportunities for improvement.
