How we manage our badges
Our recreational gymnasts have 4 opportunities each year to achieve their next badge. Each opportunity consists of one session practising the skills in their badge. The second session/week consists of testing their skills for their badge. The third week takes the gymnasts that haven’t been able to attend the two previous weeks or haven’t passed their badge.
We begin our under 7’s classes on badge 8 and our Over 7’s on badge 6. Once they reach badge 1, they then move on to achieve all the bronzes in a row, then all the silvers, then all the golds in the following order: Vault & Rebound, Fitness, Handheld Apparatus, Apparatus and finally floor.
