Gymnastics - The foundation sport for all physical activity and sports
Gymnastics is recognized by the International Olympic Committee as a foundation sport because it plays a crucial part in the development of fundamental movement patterns and sport skills. Early participation enables children to enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle for a lifetime. Some of these children will go on to become Olympic champions and mentors inspiring young Canadians to participate in sport. All of them will be equipped with physical, mental, social and emotional abilities gained through the sport of gymnastics.
Gymnastics Canada, the Provincial/Territorial Gymnastics Federations/Associations and clubs across Canada work together to fund and deliver gymnastics programs appropriate for each stage of athlete development.
Understand the principles of LONG TERM ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT (LTAD) at each stage of your child’s development.
