Powell River Gymnastics Society is a not-for-profit organization who strives to offer quality gymnastics that enhances the mental and self confidence of its participants.PRGS tries to ensure that gymnastics is available to a maximum number of children in all levels and abilities. We believe in Gymnastics to the Masses for all ages from preschool to adult!
PRGS follows the CanGym Level System of Recreational Gymnastics. These levels allow the participants to develop skills that focus on their individual strengths. Everyone begins at the Beginner Level to learn basic body positions, how rotations and circuits work on the equipment, and most importantly, how to land safely on their feet, hands and backs. Additionally, landings include landing from a height, landing with rotation, and landing on one foot as well as two feet!
This is a must for every new comer to gymnastics! participants may move up to the Intermediate Level and remain there for 3-4 sessions, or their whole gymnastics experience depending on their ability and their goals. This level is age – appropriate and a great way to stay flexible and agile!
Advanced gymnastics allows a further development of skills dependent on strength and flexibility. This class admission is by permission of a coach only. It is often the stepping stone to Interclub or competitive gymnastics.
