WAG (Women's Artistic Gymnastics) Development Programme

Kapiti Gymnastics Club has a WAG Development Programme which is designed to develop the basic fundamentals in girls who have shown potential. This is the starting place to build the skills in readiness for the requirements of our competitive programmes STEP’s or Regional Competitive Programme (Excel).

The introduction period also allows new gymnasts to see if these structured training sessions are for the gymnast and their family.

After a period in the Development Programme your child’s Coach and/or Head Coach will provide feedback to as to which programme they feel your child is best suited for.

WAG Programme and Excel overview

Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) comprises 4 apparatus.  These are Vault, Bar, Beam and Floor. 

When gymnasts join the Excel Programme they normally start at Excel Level 2.  We do not offer Excel Level 1 as we don’t find it beneficial to our club and gymnasts.  More experienced gymnasts may join at a higher level after completing a trial with one of our senior coaches.

Most gymnasts will complete one level per year, however some may move faster and many gymnasts will at some stage take a couple of years to complete a level.
