Introducing the AGC Preparation Program
The Preparation Program Philosophy
The Prep Program (Wonder Women & Super Girls) is for girls aged 4-8 and focuses on laying down a strong foundation of physical preparation (strength, flexibility, alignment, speed and agility), basic skills and work habits.
After a year in the Prep Program many athletes will be recommended to continue in mainstream recreational classes. The Program is designed to be a one year opportunity to identify if a future in WAG Competitive or InterClub will be a positive fit for an athlete. Occasionally athletes may be offered a second season in the Preparation Program, but this should not be expected.
Program Placement
Athletes in the Prep program (Wonder Women & SuperGirls) are assessed to see if the athlete is at a suitable skill level and demonstrates the physical and mental attributes for success in a competitive program, the InterClub Program or Recreational classes.
Being enrolled in a Prep program doesn’t guarantee an automatic placement for a competitive program.
After Completion of the Prep program (Wonder Women & SuperGirls), your athlete will be recommended for one of the following programs:
-
Recreational Classes
-
InterClub program
-
Developmental (Competitive) Program
Program placement is the decision of the WAG Management Team along with the InterClub Head Coach. Assessments will take place in March, allowing our team to evaluate each athlete’s skills, readiness, and overall fit across all program options. Based on this full picture, we work together as a team to determine whether an athlete is best suited for Recreational Gymnastics, InterClub or WAG Developmental.
The majority of athletes completing the Prep Program will be recommended to continue in Recreational classes. Advancement to InterClub or Developmental is reserved for a small number of athletes who demonstrate readiness across a specific set of physical, technical, and behavioral criteria. Space in InterClub and competitive programs is extremely limited.
