Gymnastics Recreation Grading Day

Students are graded on each skill in their routines; each skill will be scored from one to five, five being the highest possible score to achieve. Students are graded on each skill in their routines; each skill will be scored from one to five, five being the highest possible score to achieve.

Students that achieve step five's will have completed the recreational stepping stone program and will receive a note offering them a position in one of our pre-competitive programs.

Students who forget their routine at the grading will have the help of our coaches and senior students with their routines without any marks being deducted from them.

We ask all students to wear a leotard or tight singlet top and tights or swimmers if possible, as we should be able to clearly see students’ shapes.

Grading is at Quaycentre. We ask that students wait with parents on level two on the landing area in front of the café.

Students only need to bring a drink bottle. If it is cold, students can also bring a small blanket with them.

Times for your child’s grading will be provided after all entries have been received. Entries will close 5 pm on Sunday 19 November and times will be released by Wednesday 22 November.

Unfortunately, we cannot take entries after the closing date. Our planning of session times is precise to ensure smooth running of the event. If we were to accept a late entry, all sessions’ time would need to be changed and this is just not feasible for the coaching team to start the planning process from scratch again.

Due to coach availability, you will need to wait until the next grading day. These are held each term.

Yes, what a great way to monitor your child’s progress!

Unfortunately, no, some students have court orders that they are not to be photographed or filmed.

If time allows, we are happy for parents to come onto the floor after grading to take a picture of their child, with no other children in the background of the photo.
