Structure

Rise Gymnastics Explore follows a unique Awards Scheme focused on three key strands:

  • Core Skills – Developing fundamental movements like jumping, rolling, and balancing to build strength and coordination.
  • Apparatus – Learning to use various gym equipment to improve technique, control, and confidence.
  • Working Together – Fostering teamwork, communication, and social skills through group and partner activities.

Each strand has four levels, allowing gymnasts to progress independently within each area.

Progression

To earn each award, gymnasts must complete 8 out of the 12 skills offered in each strand. The flexible structure allows children to develop at their own pace, focusing on the areas that interest them most. Each level offers new challenges and opportunities for growth, fostering a sense of achievement and encouraging continued development.

Rewards

Gymnasts can earn exciting medals and certificates for each level they achieve in every strand. These rewards celebrate their progress and dedication, helping to motivate them as they work towards mastering new skills and advancing to higher levels.

Please note: Medals and certificates are chargeable and can be purchased at reception once your child has been awarded them.

Structure

Rise Gymnastics Excel offers an advanced Awards Scheme that includes four strands:

  • Small Apparatus – Using smaller equipment like mats and beams to refine technique and coordination.
  • Large Apparatus – Developing skills on larger equipment such as trampolines and vaults.
  • Working Together – Enhancing teamwork and communication through group exercises and partner activities.

 

Progression

Each strand has three levels, and gymnasts progress independently in each. To achieve awards in Core Skills, gymnasts must complete 10 out of the 14 skills offered. For Small Apparatus, Large Apparatus, and Working Together, gymnasts need to achieve 7 out of the 10 skills offered in each strand. Each level represents a new set of challenges, allowing gymnasts to build confidence and continue to excel in their gymnastics journey.

This structure encourages gymnasts to develop a more comprehensive skill set while challenging them to perfect their technique and performance.

Rewards

As gymnasts achieve each level within the four strands, they will earn medals and certificates, which recognise their progress and success in each area. These rewards celebrate their hard work and dedication, motivating them to continue striving for excellence.
