Men's ArtisticThe boys work on six pieces of apparatus - Floor, Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault, P Bars and High Bar. A successful male gymnast needs to be able to combine strength and speed in a variety of ways as well as the ability to perform spectacular skills in a controlled way. Development Squads Boys for these squads are selected by experienced coaches following an initial trial. The boys are chosen because they demonstrate natural physical requirements and potential. Once in this squad the gymnasts follow a training programme designed to increase strength, flexibility, speed and stamina which will allow them to develop the required skills at a later stage. Regular attendance is very important for gymnasts in these squads. Competition Squads The squads are for selected gymnasts who wish to work towards taking part in competitions. Gymnastics is a demanding sport and squad members and their families need to realise that entry into a squad requires enormous commitment. In order to be successful a squad gymnasts will need to attend regularly, be committed to their training programme and develop a high level of self-discipline. |
