The CANGYM National Badge Program is Gymnastics Canada’s National Skill Development and Evaluation program for Men’s and Women’s Artistic Gymnastics. This program is intended for use with participants of varying abilities aged 6 and older, including beginner level participants through to entry level competitive gymnasts.

The CANGYM program includes 3 levels (Bronze, Silver & Gold) of skill progressions based on Gymnastics Canada’s FUN, FITNESS and FUNDAMENTALS Educational Philosophy, which helps to create a friendly and stimulating environment for all participants. Each level consists of 4 badges for a total of 12 different coloured badges that participants receive upon successful completion of that badge. Within the Bronze level there is a focus on mastering fundamental movement patterns. Within the Silver level, the focus is on mastering fundamental skills on Men’s and Women’s Artistic apparatus, while the Gold level focusing on mastering the identified target skills.

The CANGYM Program binder is bilingual and comes complete with 5 distinct badge description sections outlining the skills in each level, and also includes original Participant Evaluation Forms and Progress Reports, along with Certificates of Participation and Completion that can be given to the participants. In addition, the CANGYM program includes a selection of Sample Coach’s comments and Routines which coaches can utilize near the end of the term.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart Gymnastics Advantage

While many clubs already utilize the Canadian Tire Jumpstart Foundation to fund select gymnasts, we want to make you aware of your ability to become a Jumpstart Community Development Partner.

Applications open January 15^th, 2016. You can apply HERE. Apply early to help ensure maximum funding. If you have any application issues, please email jumpstart_admin@cantire.com.

As a Community Development Partner, your club commits to developing a five-week daytime program that brings a local school group into your facility for basic instruction. The Jumpstart Foundation funds children who cannot afford the program up to 100%. This program is known as the “Gymnastics Advantage” as it affords children, who may otherwise never set foot in a gym, all of the advantages of our sport.

Based on your Community Development Partner Application and the Jumpstart funds available in your area, Jumpstart will hold a lump sum of funding for your program. Funds will then be parceled out based on the amount of children who require financial assistance (identified by the school). Past students have been funded up to 100% of registration fees.
