Men's Artistic GymnasticsHere at CSG we aim to deliver a fun, dedicated, and flexible environment to our athletes and visitors. The MAG program encompasses these values and works hard to maintain a great supportive environment in order to deliver a quality experience. We do this by creating a prideful program focused on development and community, instilling a sense of belonging and individuality within a growing positive atmosphere.
The MAG program has a wide range of skill and ability, so there is a place for every boy. From small boys ages 5+, to our World Championships / Commonwealth Games athlete, Jorden O’Connell-Inns. For the small boys, we aim to teach a range of fundamental skills to aid in coordination, as well as positive teamwork, all the while creating a fun environment for them to grow! Competition can start young for those with interest and continue on to higher levels. For the lower level competition groups, we work on perfecting basic movements and skills in order to move on to the next level. Each new level brings a higher focus on safety, as life gets more challenging, and the skills become more difficult. We make sure the fundamentals and foundations for the next level are reached before moving forward, always with the best interest of the athlete in mind. |
