Description

In the Relève GAM group, male gymnasts train 3 hours a week. This program is intended for those who want rigorous training and who have in mind the progression towards the competitive sector.

The precompetitive program

The precompetitive program is a program allowing to develop all the basics of female and male artistic gymnastics. This program aims to develop gymnastic skills with an emphasis on technical precision. Its objective is to prepare athletes well for the competitive sector of the regional, provincial and national circuit according to the talent and desire of each athlete and his parents. It is possible to start at a young age, depending on the potential of each child.

The athletes are evaluated internally by the Club’s coaching team to evaluate their progress and determine their evolution process.

An audition is required for this program. Contact us for more details.

F.A.Q

My child is passionate, but he is not always the best in his class. What do you look for during the audition?

We are looking for: passionate young athletes who want to improve. Obviously, it takes a certain talent, but positive attitude and self-discipline are important success factors that are observed.

How is the audition organized?

The audition takes place in the form of a regular precompetitive class. We want to see if the child is able to follow a regular class.

What should my child wear for the audition?

Female athletes must wear a leotard, male athletes must wear shorts and a t-shirt. Long hair should be tied. No jewelry.

Can parents stay during the audition?

Yes, it is possible, on the second floor, on the mezzanine, but it is not mandatory.

Should we bring something else?

Only a bottle of water.

When will we receive a response?

In the week following the audition

I have already registered my child for a recreational gymnastics class for the next season, will I get a refund?

Yes, without any penalty.

What is the schedule for precompetitive groups?

It is not an easy question. It is the tryout that determines the group. You can check the schedule of all the current pre-competitive groups via Amilia, to give you an idea for the next sessions.

How much do precompetitive courses cost?

The price varies according to the groups. The cost for “seasonal” courses is $ 545 per session or $ 2115 for the “annual program”. The annual program is eligible for installment payments (per month).

Are there other fees ?

Yes. Be mindful of membership fees, the development fund, and the precompetitive jersey. In total, you have to plan about $ 165. Your child may also want to purchase gloves for bars, but this is still optional at this level.
