Programs
Kamloops Gymnastics/Trampoline Centre offers a wide variety of programs for children aged 18 months and up. We are using the CANGYM and CANJUMP programs within our Recreational stream. Within these programs athletes work on a skill based program earning different colored badges. We are also incorporating the Long Term Athlete Development model into all our programs (this is a new national program from Sport Canada).
The Long Term Athlete Development model (LTAD) helps create a general framework of athlete development in sport. The LTAD focuses on growth, trainability, maturation and development of an athlete in sport.
Gymnastics is an early specialization sport. It differs from late specialization sports in that very complex skills are learned before maturation since they cannot be fully mastered if taught after maturation.
