4 GYMNASTICS BC interclub The PLAY Gymnastics BC Interclub program is designed to expand the scope of participation in recreational gymnastics in BC. Interclub provides a training framework and offers opportunities for athletes to attend sanctioned events, at which they perform gymnastics routines to showcase personal ability. Designed for all levels of recreational gymnasts, Interclub does not require a minimum or maximum skill level to participate. The program is performance-centred and focuses on the opportunity for gymnasts to perform and take pride in personal athletic achievement. Artistic movement is encouraged and there are no skill restrictions, provided that the skills are being taught in a safe, progressive manner by a qualified coach. Athletes and coaches have creative license in routine development and performances. The Gymnastics BC Interclub program is specifically designed for recreational athletes and is not meant to be used as a developmental competitive or pre-competitive program. Junior Olympic compulsory routines are not permitted in the interclub program. Interclub Categories Overview of categories by discipline WAG MAG TG Performance X X X Performance Plus X X X Performance Challenge X Description of categories Performance: Athletes perform routines and are given positive feedback on each event. Available to all abilities, ages 6+. Recommended training hours: Maximum of 6 hours per week. Performance Plus: Athletes perform routines and are given a score and awarded a gold, silver or bronze ribbon based on their performance on each apparatus. This category is available to beginner-intermediate abilities, ages 9+. Recommended training hours: Maximum of 8 hours per week.
Performance Challenge: Athletes perform advanced routines and are given a score and awarded a gold, silver or bronze ribbon based on their performance on each apparatus. This category is available to advanced athletes performing more difficult skills such as handsprings and saltos, ages 9+. 5 Recommended training hours: Maximum of 10 hours per week. Category Selection Clubs and coaches are responsible for determining the category that their athletes will perform in. While understood that every club will have a different philosophy, budget and event goals, categories have been designed to create an opportunity for athletes to proudly showcase skills and routines in an environment shared with peers of similar age and ability levels. Athletes may move freely from one category to another. Please see athlete eligibility for each category. It is recommended that the following aspects be taken into consideration when selecting an athlete s category: Athlete age Athlete training (hours and stage of LTAD) Athlete skill level (see suggested skill chart in this document) Personal goals of each individual athlete Apparatus and equipment Athletes may perform on any gymnastics apparatus: traditional men s and women s artistic gymnastics apparatus, trampoline, double mini-trampoline or tumbling. Athletes are not limited to one discipline. They can mix and match: for example, athletes may register to perform on only beam and trampoline (if both apparatus were being offered at an Interclub event). The choice of apparatus is not gender-specific. All apparatus are available to all genders. Non-traditional gymnastics apparatus are also permitted, in accordance with GBC guidelines and policies. There are no limitations or restrictions on the use of safety mats and additional equipment (such as beam pads, boxes, etc.) during Interclub events. Supplemental equipment such as routine props, costumes or non-traditional gymnastics equipment is permitted and encouraged. Please keep safety in mind when using supplemental equipment.
6 Performance Category The goal of the Interclub Performance category is to provide an opportunity for gymnasts of all ability levels to perform gymnastic routines and showcase their personal abilities in a fun, positive atmosphere. Athlete eligibility Gymnasts must be at least six years of age on or before December 31, 2017. For the 2017-18 season, athletes born in 2011 or before are eligible to participate in an Interclub event. There are no exceptions to the age eligibility. Athletes must be registered with Gymnastics BC as Interclub members. In British Columbia, acrobatic gymnastics is considered a Gymnastics For All discipline. Acrobatic athletes must register as Interclub athletes to participate in Interclub events. This category is only for non-competitive, recreational level acrobatic gymnastics participants and does not include anyone competing or being ranked. Coach eligibility All coaches must be registered with Gymnastics BC as competitive or recreational coaches. Coaches must be a minimum of NCCP Gymnastics Foundations or Level 1 certified. CITs should be under the direct supervision of a NCCP Gymnastics Foundation or Level 1 certified coach. CITs should not be responsible for the safety of Interclub athletes.

Routine guidelines Routines on any apparatus should not exceed 90 seconds. One or two vaults are allowed. Music is optional for women and men s floor exercise and can be lyrical. Safety Although there are no skill restrictions in Interclub, coaches must be aware that advanced skills require more physical preparation, safe repetitions and athlete ability/readiness. By increasing the level of difficulty in training or routines, safety concerns are also increased. Careful consideration should be made to this when teaching advanced skills and increasing difficulty in performances. Participants should be capable of performing all components of their routine with a reasonable level of mastery and competence consistent with the safety and teaching principles of the National Coaching Certification Program
Training principles should be consistent with the the FUN, Fitness and FUNdamentals athlete (stage 2) of the Gymnastics Canada LTAD. 7 It is the responsibility of the coaches to refrain athletes from doing any skill deemed dangerous. Spotting A light spot is permitted during performances. While an athlete may perform a skill sooner with assistance, doing so independently and displaying personal achievement should be the primary goal. Awards Athletes will receive a certificate including positive feedback for each of their performances.

12 hosting guidelines for interclub events Gymnastics BC sanction Clubs must follow the GBC sanctioning policy. Interclub events must be sanctioned but there is no deadline to submit the sanctioning form. Clubs must outline both the apparatus offered and the format of the event in the first meet invitation. Workplan The event invitation should contain the following information: Format of the event, including categories invited. Apparatus offered (i.e. women s apparatus, men s apparatus, trampoline/double mini/tumbling, acrobatic and/or any creative performances). Entry fees are recommended to range between $60-$90. While event hosting costs depend on the city, zones and the amount of work a club puts into their event, clubs should make efforts to keep entry fees reasonable. When Interclub events are combined with another GBC sanctioned event, fees should be reduced. Athlete recognition plan and special awards. Registration form requesting the following data: athlete s name, date of birth, category, apparatus participating in, coaches names, NCCP certification and club. General Host clubs are welcome to set out their own formats and offer varying competition apparatus. There are no format requirements and creativity is highly encouraged. Interclub events should be athlete-centered and aimed at providing a positive and memorable experience for athletes. There should be no more than 50 participants in one flight or session. Each flight or session should last no more than three hours. It is the host club s responsibility to verify that all athletes and coaches participating are registered with Gymnastics BC prior to the event. Host clubs can contact GBC for assistance in finding the list of Interclub athletes. It is the hosts club s responsibility to ensure that adjudicators are properly trained, familiar with their role, and provide each adjudicator with a copy of the Adjudicators Guidelines (pg.14-17). The Meet Director must complete the Interclub Event Meet Director Form (provided at the end of this document) and return it to GBC within seven days of the event s completion.
Awards 13 It is highly recommended that host club place considerable emphasis on the awards ceremony, highlighting each participant s performance. For each athlete, the following individual awards are required: An individual award (ribbon or medal) to recognize each athlete s participation (all categories). A certificate providing athlete with feedback for their performances (Performance Category only) A certificate with the athlete s scores on each apparatus (Performance Plus and Challenge categories only). A bronze, silver or gold ribbon on each apparatus corresponding to the score of their routine (Performance Plus and Performance Challenge categories only). It is recommended that the Meet Director read each certificate before distribution, ensuring that only positive and not constructive comments are included. Special Awards Special awards highlight athletes with outstanding or creative performances. For each Interclub session offered, the special awards listed in the chart below are required. It is expected that the Meet Director will check adjudicator recommendations for special awards to ensure that they are distributed fairly. The host club may also recognize athletes that stand out based on the spirit of their event (e.g. overcoming challenges, being a great teammate).
