Floor & Vault Strength and Conditioning Classes

Our Floor & Vault Strength and Conditioning Classes are designed to support gymnasts in building the physical strength, power, and endurance necessary for success in their Floor & Vault routines. These sessions focus on developing key areas such as core stability, explosive power, flexibility, balance, and overall athletic conditioning, all of which are vital for performing advanced gymnastics skills.

The classes are tailored to complement the gymnasts’ regular training, helping them improve their performance and prevent injury by strengthening the muscles used in their Floor & Vault routines. Coaches will guide athletes through a combination of bodyweight exercises, resistance training, and flexibility drills, ensuring that each gymnast develops a strong foundation in all aspects of their physical fitness.

​

Strength and Conditioning is an essential part of the competitive gymnastics pathway, and gymnasts in the Intermediate and Advanced Floor & Vault classes will be invited to participate in these sessions to enhance their training. These classes are held once a week and are designed to be an integral part of a gymnast’s overall development, ensuring they are equipped with the strength and endurance needed to perform at their best in competitions.

​

Participation in Strength and Conditioning classes will be strongly recommended for gymnasts looking to improve their performance and achieve their goals in Floor & Vault gymnastics.

 

Progress and Commitment Reviews

If a coach or gymnast feels that progress or commitment is not meeting expectations, a meeting with parents will be arranged to discuss options to help the gymnast get back on track or consider future training pathways. Please remember that all gymnasts develop at different rates, and it is common for gymnasts to adjust their training schedule or pathway during their gymnastics journey.
