Women’s Artistic
Jump Higher, Reach Further
The Calgary Gymnastics Centre Women's Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) Competitive Team empowers athletes to cultivate a strong self-image, master goal-setting strategies, and build physical and mental resilience through the exciting world of competitive gymnastics. We are dedicated to creating an inspiring and supportive atmosphere where athletes are driven by a passion to excel, with opportunities to compete from Level 7 to Level 10 and the necessary framework for those who aim for NCAA and High Performance/National Team success.
Though gymnastics is an individual sport, our athletes thrive on team spirit, pride, and collective achievement. While winning is always a target, our primary emphasis is on setting progressive goals and consistently achieving personal bests.
Mighty Mites
Ages 3 - 6 | 4 Hours/Week
Mighty Mites is a pre-competitive program for young athletes designed to build a solid foundation for gymnastics while fostering a love for the sport and physical activity.
With a focus on the four events in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise), Mighty Mites will help to develop strength, flexibility, coordination, focus, balance, agility, body awareness, and basic body positioning/shaping. Classes are multiple times per week to boost fitness, skill development and encourage retention of technique.
