Rec Gymnastics – Elephant Vault

One of my favourite activities.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

These boys at Altadore Gymnastics age 4-5 are called “Mitey Mites”. They train 4hrs/wk, 10 months of the year.

The goal is general phyical (strength, flexibility) and motor (agility, balance, coordination, rhythm) fitness for all sports.

From this group kids are invited into 6hr/wk precompetitive, normally the September when they start Grade-1.
