The Taiso WAG Program is a competitive provincial level program based on coaching athletes to technical mastery, long term love of the sport, and individual successes.
There are 4 events that are competed in the WAG discipline. These are Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam and Floor.
The Taiso WAG consists of CCP Interclub 1 and 2, Provincial levels CCP 3 and XCEL Gold, Platinum and Diamond. There is a new Sapphire level that is currently being trialed. If and when it is offered in Canada, it will be added to our program as well.
We strive to help all athletes reach their goals through fun and positive coaching. We believe in a healthy balance between home life and gym life and this is reflected in the number of hours we have athletes training. To ensure this healthy balance is maintained, our program will offer a maximum of 12 hours per week of competitive training.
Interclub/Developmental The WAG program uses a progressive approach to building a strong technical understanding of compulsory skills with an emphasis on making the learning process fun. The goal of compulsory levels is to work towards strong technical mastery and performance of the foundational skills of gymnastics. At this level, athletes will work toward a mastery of foundational skills with consistency and artistry. The Interclub athletes are not ranked against each other. They will receive ribbons on each event, and an all around medal based on their scores and ranges developed by GymSask.
Provincial Stream The WAG program uses a progressive approach catered to each athlete using a strong understanding of basic skills to work towards mastery of higher level skills. The goal is to have a strong technical proficiency of all level special requirements and be able to perform the elements with confidence and artistry prior to moving to the next level. Most athletes will spend at least two years in a level— the first to learn, the second to master with confidence.
