Se co & } ad ~~ a ~@ i 8 SRS SP i f Bion PENETANG -- MIDLAND GYM Gymnastics Corner by Ken St Amant Over the past several years, the Canadian Gymnastics Federation (C.G.F.) has been promoting gymnastics through a system called the Development Program. Many clubs as well as many local schools have begun to use this program. Below is an outline of this system. History The Development Program was first proposed in December of 1976 at the C.G.F. Technical meetings. Between January and May 1977, the committee researched existing programs throughout Canada. By August of 1977, the first draft of the program was circulated to selected coaches, administrators and teachers ~ across the country. The feedback received from these selected people was a major factor in the formation of the program as it is today. By March 1978 the program was ready for the art work. This was finalized in December. YMCA's Influence The Canadian Gymnastics Federation has always enjoyed a close working relationship with the Canadian YMCA, and is particularly pleased with the close collaboration which has resulted in the production of the program that is now available to all Canadians from coast to coast. The format of the Development Program is one that was developed originally by the YMCA gymnastics program and has been used in the YMCA nationally for several years. Technical input from many sources has altered the technical content of the program and although produced under a separated cover, the program of the YMCA of Canada.is essentially identical to this Canadian Gymnastics Federation Development Program. Introduction ; The Canadian Gymnastics Federation's Development Program benefits to motivate young people to participate in and enjoy the benefits of gymnastics. There are two major parts to the program: A) Participation B) Achievement. A) Participation: This section is basically for those who have little or no experience in gymnastics. Its goal is to promote enjoyment and participation in basic gymnastics, while learning the basic skills presented utilizing the methods introduced by the CGF Coaching Cer- tification Level 1 Program. It is comprised of levels with a crest being awarded at the end of each level: Red, White, Blue. B) Achievement: This section is for those gymnasts who have a thorough understanding of the six basic movement patterns and mastery of elementary skills. It leads directly to the artistic and competitive aspects of the sport, offering four progressively more demanding levels of achievement derived from the concepts introduced by Level I and Level II of the Coaching Certification Program. Crests are once again awarded at the completion of each level: Merit, Bronze, Silver, Gold. Each level contains skills from each of the four women's apparatus (Vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor) and the six men's apparatus (vault, pommel horse, rings, parallel bars, floor, and high bar).
