Cangym is Canada's National Skill Development Program. It was created by coaches, to be used in recreational gymnastics programs for participants of all ages and it contains two main objectives:

1. The first objective is to provide a badge-based, skill development program for Canadian gymnastic clubs.
2. The second, to provide resource material that complements the Level 1 and 2 National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) Gymnastics curriculum.

How does Cangym work?

Enthusiastic, well-prepared coaches are important to a young gymnasts learning. Our coaches are familiar with the Cangym resource materials and, using these materials, prepare themselves for every class.

There are 14 different colored badges in the Cangym program. Each badge consists of approximately 30 different skills. Program skills have been selected to ensure a clear progression from one badge to the next, leading to the key skills that are contained in the Gold badge. The key skills in this program can be considered the stepping stones to more advanced gymnastics, but can also stand alone as excellent recreational level skills.

Parent & Tot - This program offers tots an opportunity to explore the gym setting while ensuring developmental appropriateness. Focus is on the social development and the exploration of motor learning. The program is lightly structured and parents participate with their child and coach while in the gym.

Tumble Bugs - These structured programs incorporate basic gymnastic skills while focusing on fundamental and dominant movement patterns. Children will explore and develop gross and fine motor skills while enhancing their social skills. The learning atmosphere is full of innovative and progressive equipment designed for fun, with the children's safety and development needs in mind.
