|
Floor
|
A floor exercise is composed predominantly of acrobatic elements combined with other gymnastic elements such as strength and balance parts, elements of flexibility, handstands and choreographic combinations all forming a harmonious rhythmic exercise which is preformed utilising the entire floor exercise area (12m x 12m).
|
Vault
|
The vault is one of two apparatus common to both men's and women's gymnastics. Each vault begins with a run and a take off from both feet ( with or without a round off) to the vault board with legs together and is executed with a brief support phase on the table with one or two hands. The vault may contain single or multiple turns around the two axes of the body.
|
Rings
|
An exercise on the rings is composed of swing, strength and hold parts in approximately equal portions. These parts and combinations are executed in a hang position, to or through a support position, or to or through the handstand position, and execution with straight arms should be predominant. Contemporary gymnastic exercises are characterised by transitions between elements of swing and strength or the reverse. The swinging of the cables and the crossing of the cables are not permitted.
|
High Bar
|
A contemporary High Bar (Horizontal Bar) exercise must be a dynamic presentation that consists entirely of the fluid connection of swinging, turning and flight elemants alternating between elements performed near to and far from the bar in a variety of hand grips so as to demonstrate the full potential of the apparatus.
|
Pommel Horse
|
A contemporary Pommel Horse exercise is characterised by different types of circular swings with legs apart and together in a variety of support positions on all parts of the horse, single leg swings and/or scissors. Swings through the handstand position, with or without turns, are permitted. All elements must be executed with swing and without the slightest interruption of the exercise. Strength and hold elements are not permitted.
|
Parallel Bars
|
A contemporary parallel bar exercise consists predominantly of swing and flight elements selected from all available element groups and performed with continuous transitions through various hang and support positions in such a way as to reflect the full potential of the apparatus.
|
Tumble Tramp
|
Our tumble tramp leads into the one of our pits. This makes for great fun trying new things or for improving skills.
|
Foam Pits
|
One of the most popular aspects of the gym!!!
Fantastic to have fun in but also a very important training aid. Gymnasts can practice and perfect skills into the pit before moving the skills onto the apparatus.
