Gymstar Competition Program

Gymstar is an invitation-only program. Selected gymnasts show the ability, motivation and determination required for competitive Gymnastics. This program focuses on developing strength and flexibility, improving technique and working towards learning skills and routines for competitions.  Routines will be developed for Uneven Bars, Beams, Floors, Rings, Parallel Bars, and Vaults.

 

It is expected that Gymstar Gymnasts, commit to the Program for the FULL YEAR and attend a minimum of 3-4 interclub competitions per year.

 

Membership TBC

This payment is a compulsory, non-refundable annual fee which includes registration and insurance with Gymnastics Australia and a Chamford membership fee

 

Trials in the First Term of Gymstar Squad

The first term a gymnast joins a Gymstar squad group will be a trial term.  At the end of this term, the squad coach and the head coach will determine if the program and level are suitable for the gymnast and advise the parents.  

 

Attendance Expectations

Athletes are expected to attend a minimum of 85% of general training to remain within the Gymstar program. Missed sessions can leave gaps in the gymnast’s development, and class attendance is vital for the progressive and continual development of competition skills and routines.

 

Competition Uniform

All gymnasts must purchase the full Chamford uniform before competition season starts.  Uniform items can be ordered through the Office, and include a long-sleeved competition leotard for girls, a polo top for boys, and a club tracksuit for all Gymstar gymnasts. 

 

Competition Levy

Gymnasts are expected to attend a minimum of 3-4 of the interclub competitions selected by Chamford.  We recommend that gymnasts attend as many competitions each year as possible to develop team spirit and confidence in competing. 

 

Details of the venues and dates of these competitions will be advised in Term 1 of each year, with session times advised 2-3 weeks before each competition.

 

The Competition Levy is invoiced separately from tuition fees and must be paid in full by the due date or gymnasts will not be entered into the competitions.  

 

 If your schedule changes and your child can no longer attend a competition, please advise the Chamford Office by email as soon as possible.  After a competition has been entered, a refund can only be offered to you if a medical certificate has been supplied to Chamford and a refund has been obtained from Gymnastics Victoria. Refunds will not be available if a gymnast withdraws for non-medical reasons.

 

 As gymnasts train and compete as a team, late withdrawals from a competition may result in the remaining members of the team not being able to compete at that competition due to insufficient numbers.

 

Holiday Training

Holiday training dates and times will be emailed to parents and can be found on our website.  Gymnasts are encouraged to attend training during the school holidays to maintain body preparation (strength and flexibility) and continue skill development.  It is advantageous to attend these sessions because they are for competitive gymnasts only and the groups have extended time on apparatus.  Holiday training is charged per hour attended and is invoiced early in the following term.
 

Holiday Training is compulsory during competition season as per the Gymstar Handbook.

Maintenance and Equipment Levy

All WAG and Gymstar gymnasts are required to pay a $90 Levy with their Term 2 Fees. Other volunteer work may be deemed appropriate by the Head Coach for the Levy to be waived. 

 

Parent Viewing

Parents may only view from the parents’ viewing area.  As there is very limited space, parents are welcome to stay for 10 minutes at the beginning of their child’s session and 10 minutes before the session ends.
