Overview of Rise Gymnastics Programme and Award Scheme

​

Rise Gymnastics contains three phases; Discover, Explore and Excel, each of which includes an award scheme and supporting activities to aid delivery. In addition, Explore and Excel also contains a competition framework.

​

Across the three phases, every child can experience a wide range of activities, fundamental movement patterns and gymnastics skills, embracing their creativity, which leads to reward at every ability level, through success and achievement.

​

The award scheme is flexible and can be used in an agile way to suit the needs of the club, leisure centre or school meaning that your child may not complete all strands (Core Skills, Apparatus, Working Together) of the award scheme for Explore and Excel.

For example, the club, leisure centre or school may only deliver the Core Skills strand and the Small Apparatus strand. They may however decide to work on all strands.

Equally, the club, leisure centre or school that your child attends may only deliver one or two of the phases. For example they may only deliver Discover and Explore.
