RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS

Rhythmic Gymnastics (RG) is a beautiful sport combining gymnastics and dance using hand apparatus; Rope, Hoop, Ball, Clubs, and Ribbon.  At its highest level, rhythmic gymnastics requires body-eye co-ordination, grace, elegance, flexibility, strength, and musicality. Pulman Recreation Centre offers a pathway for competitive rhythmic gymnastics.  Gymnasts who show the potential to move through the New Zealand National Levels or International Development Programmes are invited by the RG Head Coach to join the competitive programme.  Entry into the programme depends on several factors including age, previous dance or gymnastic experience, and ability levels.

TRAMPOLINE AND TUMBLING

Competitive Trampoline is an exciting performance of explosive aerial skills with grace and precision. Gymnasts also train to compete on the double-mini trampoline.  Routines consist of different form elements of twists and somersaults. In the competitive Tumbling programme, gymnasts perform skills and link them together to compete two passes of skills series consisting of twists and somersaults, on a sprung track.
