CanGym Badges General Information

The CanGym Badges program is a nationally recognized curriculum for recreational gymnastics.  It is a 12-level skill-based program. At each level, there are skills that must be achieved to move onto the next level.  This program is based on ability and NOT on age.

There are approximately 30 skills per badge. At the end of each session, each child receives a Progress Report, clearly indicating which skills are learning/attempted (L) and mastered (√). In order to pass a particular badge, a child must master all of the elements on the Progress Report. These key program skills have been selected to ensure a clear progression from one badge to the next, ultimately leading to the key skills that are contained in the Gold Badge.

The progression through the coloured badges is as follows:

Burgundy  Red  Tan  Bronze  Purple  Blue  Turquoise  Silver  Orange  Yellow  Green  Gold
