Acro Squad
The Acro Squad is a group of competitive gymnasts who are at a high level of CDP and a lower level of NDP. We believe that they have the potential to compete at the regional and national levels. The group requires more commitment and increased training intensity, with a focus on developing skills and perfecting technique. Gymnasts in this group will follow the National Development Plan and participate in regional, national, and friendly international competitions.
Session design
Acrobatic Gymnastics is an artistic and contemporary discipline that requires gymnasts to have immense courage and trust in each other. The gymnasts work in pairs, trios, or groups to create routines that match their physical and psychological abilities. The Tops needs to be aerial, of small body feature, highly flexible and nimble, while the Bases need to be strong, steady and powerful. Mixed pairs must have a male Base and a female Top. This squad only accessible by invitation, and gymnasts will perform individual and acrobatic elements in partnerships or groups. Gymnasts are invited to join the Acro squad once they have demonstrated a high level of flexibility, strength, coordination, determination, and the ability to perform basic gymnastics skills at a high standard.
