1 South African Gymnastics Federation WOMEN S ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS PROGRAM MANAGEMENT WAG PM CIRCULAR 15 /2014 [HP] Date: 20 th November ed to: Provinces, Leanne, Tseko, WAG PM FIG AGE GROUP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Dear Provinces Further to the High performance silo meeting that was held on 16 November 2014 at the Matsport Centre, please take note of the following important & updated High Performance information. 1) Age Group (High Performance/CLASS) Program 2015 & 2016 & beyond After our HP Silo meeting, WAG PM & the Gauteng HP Coaches have decided that it would be best to adopt the new classes system fully from Important Notes: The set routines will be tested at the April HP training camp 10 & 11 April 2014 and each year thereafter at the April HP training camp. Scores from the testing will be added to the voluntary scores to determine the winner in each section. Only gymnasts competing in the classes program (as set out below) will be invited to the training camps and will be eligible for FIG age group international competitions. Videos of the beams & floors & the floor music have been circulated so please ensure you have this. Ilse will have more copies of this ready on 6 December The beam and floor routines will be taught to the relevant gymnasts & coaches at the camp to ensure that everyone is on the same page. All clubs who intend to do this exciting new program, should endeavor to have a representative at the 6 December clinic, 9h00-13h00, where class 0-5 will be discussed and explained. Gymnasts who are younger, and more advanced will compete with their age group, but train difficulty at a higher level. Gymnasts won t be permitted to compete at a level above their age group as per FIG directive. The more advanced gymnasts simply have the advantage of being able to train skills for most of the year. Gymnasts following route one, will have two years in class 2 & 3, as per FIG age groups. Gymnasts following route two, will have one year in class 3 and two years in class 4, as per FIG age groups. Class 0 & 1 > compete in the level 1-3 competition season In the Zone Challenge Series. WAG MANAGEMENT TEAM: I Laing (HP), L Bakker (Levels & Development) & P Chadwick (Admin ) MANAGER: Paddy Chadwick Tel: (031) Fax: Cell: paddy@chadwick.co.za

2 > compete in the level 4-6 competition season at Gym Games. Class 3 & 4 > compete in the level 7+ competition season at National Championships. There will be two age groups & thus two separate competitions in each age group. Gymnasts are permitted to move from Route 2 to 1 and vice versa, as we realize that different girls develop at different paces. In order for all coaches to do their planning for 2015 and beyond, the following will be the High Performance Program of SAGF, implemented fully from : Summary of competition age groups per class for 2015: CLASS AGE GROUP ROUTE ONE AGE GROUP ROUTE TWO 0 s s 1 s s 2 s s 3 s s 4 s 2001 s ROUTE ONE (Preferred option): (6 turning 7) (YOG) (YOG) Class 0 Class 1 JO JO SO Class 1 JO JO SO JO JO SO SO SO JO JO SO SO SO SO JO JO SO SO SO SO SO JO JO SO SO SO SO SO SO JO JO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO OR Level 10 JO JO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO
