Artistic Gymnastics

CCA Information

Artistic Gymnastics combines the elements of strength, artistry and grace. It seeks to develop students in their physical strength, flexibility, agility, coordination and balance. Students acquire acrobatic techniques to execute short routines on four apparatus: balance beam, uneven bars, vault and floor.

Students will be observed and grouped into either School or Recreation Team. Recreation Team will train once a week, either on Mondays or Fridays.

Students in the School Team are expected to train thrice a week. These students will be selected to represent the school at the annual National School Games. In addition, the CCA also provides several opportunities for School Team members and selected students from the Recreation Team to put up performances at school events.

This fun, vibrant CCA not only moulds our girls to be exemplary performers but it also teaches them to be dedicated, disciplined and resilient.
