WoMen's Artistic Gymnastics
Designed for dedicated gymnasts, this competitive pathway develops strength, confidence and technical skill across the four women's artistic apparatus, with opportunities to represent Lasswade Gymnastics Club at competitions across Scotland and the UK.
Our Women's Artistic Competitive Pathway is designed for gymnasts who demonstrate the commitment, enthusiasm and potential to develop their skills through structured coaching and competition.
​
Gymnasts progress through a carefully planned pathway, from our Pre-Competitive programme through to our Pre-Competitive into our competitive and performance pathways. Each stage is tailored to support individual development, providing age and ability-appropriate coaching in a positive and encouraging environment.
​
Training focuses on developing strength, flexibility, confidence and technical excellence across all four women's artistic apparatus — Vault, Uneven Bars, Beam and Floor. Sessions are carefully planned to help every gymnast build strong foundations, progress safely and achieve their personal best.
​
Throughout the year, gymnasts have the opportunity to represent Lasswade Gymnastics Club at competitions across Scotland and the UK, gaining valuable competition experience while celebrating their progress and achievements as part of the team.
Squad Structure
Pre-Competitive Pathway
Our Pre-Competitive pathway is for girls aged 4–7 and provides a strong foundation for future progression within Women’s Artistic Gymnastics. Training focuses on developing fundamental gymnastics skills, strength, flexibility, coordination and body awareness, alongside confidence, resilience and determination.
​
We aim to create a nurturing and positive environment where gymnasts can develop their skills, build a love for gymnastics and gain confidence as performers. Gymnasts may take part in small two-piece and in-house competitions, giving them the opportunity to experience performing and competing in a fun and supportive environment before progressing into our competitive pathways from the year they turn 8.

Training Commitments:
1.5 - 8 Hours Per Week
Development Pathway
​Our Development pathway is for gymnasts who are ready to begin competing and developing their skills within the competitive side of Women’s Artistic Gymnastics. Gymnasts work towards Grades competitions, developing their technique, consistency and understanding of the sport while progressing towards new goals and targets.
​
Training focuses on refining existing skills, improving performance and building the foundations needed for progression into higher levels of competition. We aim to provide an environment where gymnasts are appropriately challenged, allowing them to develop at a steady pace while maintaining a positive and enjoyable experience.
