Gymnasts will increase their strength and flexibility and continue to develop their skills and conditioning level in preparation for advanced gymnastics. The focus is on learning basics and proper form. This is an exciting time where gymnasts acquire many new skills and begin to develop the self-confidence necessary for the sport. Gymnasts will be entered into 1 or 2 ODP (Ontario Development Program) meets or compulsory ‘routines’ competitions at the end of the season.

Gymnasts in this program who develop skills and training habits beyond this level always have the opportunity to be considered for higher levels of competition.

WAG High Performer Program Daytime (HPP)
We are pleased to report that the HPP daytime program has provided optimal training since it has been implemented at All Star. The afternoon HPP competitive training program for WAG (Women’s Artistic Gymnastics) continues to grow and will have approximately 16-20 athletes in it this coming year! Some athletes have now been attending the High Performer Program for 2 years and attend Hollycrest PS in Etobicoke. This private athlete’s school is fully funded by the government and is part of the TDSB. A similar new school in peel will open for Sept 2017 in Mississauga. Other athletes leave their regular school early each day to be at the gym for 2 pm. Great news! Parents have reported no regrets in sending their children to the school and have found the children are less tired and more productive, as well as excelling academically.
This program for athletes is by invitation only who are at or who we see potentially reaching – a minimum Provincial level 6 and up. It allows students to go to school in the morning 8:30-11:30 and train in the afternoon beginning at 2:00pm until 6:00pm daily! This schedule encourages a lifestyle of gym/sports and school combined into a much shorter day than the typical training options provide, also allowing for more homework and family time.
