Ontario Developmental Program (ODP)
4.5 to 9 years
Training: 4-8 hours/week
These programs are aimed at girls 4.5 – 9 years of age. The focus of the Ontario Developmental Program is to provide all those who participate with a structured gymnastics class where fun continues to be a main aspect of the program while developing fundamental skills and incorporating them on all apparatus. We also continue to emphasize the concept of fitness through developing the child's strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, concentration, body awareness and agility. This prepares the gymnast's body to learn and acquire the basic fundamental skills. At the same time, we start to develop some of the psychological aspects of gymnastics such as positive self-image, goal-setting, sportsmanship and a good level of self-confidence for each child.
