Gymnastics
Gymnastics Australia, with the support of the Australian Sports Commission, has developed a variety of specialised gymnastics programs based on fundamental movement. The LaunchPad programs have been designed to support gymnastics coaches to provide children with the opportunity to practise, develop and enjoy movement through a wide range of fundamental gymnastics activities that will help them to develop physcially, socially and cognitively.
The AEROSkools and TEAM Cheer programs are additional entry-level gymnastics participation opportunities for school students, teachers and community coaches wishing to get involved in Sport Aerobics, Cheer and dance. These resources can also be used for delivery or AASC aerobics or cheerleading programs.
Active After-school Community (AASC) program schools, Out of School Hours Care Services (sites) and community coaches are encouraged to use the LaunchPad endorsed Gymnastics Companion Book, when delivering AASC gymnastic sessions. This book should be used in conjunction with the Playing for Life Resource Kit.
