GENERAL INFORMATION

2011 School Schedule
2011 Gymnastics Meet Guidebook


The upcoming gymnastics meet is planned to be a natural outgrowth of the Gymnastics Curriculum. Therefore, it will include floor, mat and apparatus work. Educational Gymnastics, as presented in the written Physical Education Program, will be emphasized, which means that movements devised by the students as well as traditional gymnastics movements will be stressed. Of course, technique, performance and the ability to meet the required elements will be vital judging components.

The purpose of this activity is NOT to create a highly competitive situation, but rather to do the following:

1. Give students a reason to practice and perfect their gymnastic movements beyond the point that is normally demanded by the in-class situation.

2. Provide both students and teachers with the opportunity to observe students from various schools so that a wide variety of gymnastic ideas may be shared among interested people in our schools.

3. To recognize students and schools for their interest in this activity so that it will continue to grow and ultimately be as available to students as are parts of our Recreation Program. This will broaden the scope of our Recreation Program, thereby meeting the needs and interests of a wider population of children.
