May I know… Are children able to learn gymnastics for recreation? Overall it seems the ultimate goal is to go competitive if you’re good enough? But I’ve seen those who do gymnastics are really fit. Not sure if ds can keep up!

of course your son can always learn gymnastics, as a form of recreation.
In primary schools, coaches divide RG (Rhythmic gym) and AG (Artistic gym) pupils, into 2 separate different team.
- Recreational team, Or
- School team
Recreational team : only attend gym training, once a week
School team : attend gym training, at least twice a week
since your son is keen in Recreation, he can always join the school’s Recreational team.
But for other parents whose children are keen to join school team and intend to use this later in Primary 6 for DSA Secondary school application, the coach will assess them individually, suitable or not.
If good, the coach will invite them to join school team.
Then, they will be trained, to represent their respective primary school, to take part in inter-primary schools’ RG / AG Sports competition. -
Thank you so much phtthp!!!

Hello everyone,
Is there are any gym school that allow a child to acquire skillset for each grading (e.g. from Australian Syllabus) without going for competition? Looking at AG(Artistic Gymnastics)
Many thanks in advance!

We followed a fixed set of routine set by Singapore Gymnastics (our national sport association). There are 2 paths which is the level(Recreational) and stage(Elite). They are graded during competitions which are National championship and Singapore Open. I have never heard of any overseas syllabus here.

Hello gerzy123
Many thanks for your reply!
May I clarify that during the local competitions (National Championship and Singapore Open), gymnasts are to compete based on a fixed set of routine as mandate by Singapore Gymnastics?
I had came across 2 gymnastics schools that appear to be using overseas syllabus, hence I had cite it in my example:
1. Alpha Gym follows Australian Level System
http://alphagymasia.com/gymstarsbigstars/
http://alphagymasia.com/intermediate-adv/
2. Bazgym follows Australian syllabus as well
Are there any gymnastics schools that allows acquiring of advanced gymnastics skill sets without the need to go competition?
Reason for asking - the recreation path offered by gymnastics schools I had came across seemed more of fun elements
Many thanks for your advise in advance!

Her group started, she can be contacted at [email protected]My friend is ex Malaysia National team and ASEAN Schools RG gold medalist. She has been out of the industries for many years due to family commitment. Recently, she tell me she want to start a small gym class for kids 4-7 yrs on weekends. Reason 1 :She loves RG and like kids very much, Reason 2 : Her daughter currently 4yrs old has shown high interest in this area. She need a playgroup to get her girl started.
Do let me know if anyone keen to join her little group. Fees will be reasonable as it is for recreational only. -
If we have no affiliation w any of the primary school, can we enter based on cca? I.e RG?
-
If enter via cca will be under the DSA (Sports) route. For RG, there are currently 4 schools who accepts under DSA namely RGS, SNGS, CHIJ TP and St Margaret's.
There is a new RG club open in the West.
