Developing life skills and physical development to support an active lifestyle and participation in other sports.​

Overview of the Rise Gymnastics programme and award scheme

Rise Gymnastics contains three phases; Discover, Explore and Excel, each of which includes an award scheme and supporting activities to aid delivery. In addition, Explore and Excel also contains a competition framework.

Across the three phases, every child can experience a wide range of activities, fundamental movement patterns and gymnastics skills, embracing their creativity, which leads to reward at every ability level, through success and achievement.

The award scheme is flexible and can be used in an agile way to suit the needs of the club. At Tetbury Gymnastics Club we will be working on all three strands (Core Skills, Apparatus, Working Together) of the award scheme for Explore and Excel. Discover is for pre-school ages so this won't be relevant to us.

Explore

Who: Recreational gymnasts

Structure: Rise Gymnastics Explore has an Awards Scheme based around the following three strands:

Rewards: Gymnasts can achieve medals and certificates for each level of each of the four strands.

Assessment

The Rise Gymnastics programme and award scheme encourages continual assessment whereby a gymnast is either working towards or being assessed on a frequent basis. Please bear with the team as we settle in to using the scheme and the assessment platform, which is on tablets linked directly to the coach portal online. Gymnasts will be given the opportunity to learn, practice and showcase their skills and demonstrate they are able to perform them consistently and with good technique.

Follow your child's progress on the Home portal. The portal uses the same email address that you used to register your gymnast for British Gymnastics membership.
