 Titans boasts one of Nova Scotia's largest recreational gymnastics programs. We offer classes daily for a wide variety of athletes, from pre-school to adult. We are proud of our commitment to high quality gymnastics, trampoline, and tumbling at the recreational level.

Preschool Gymnastics Classes:

Titans offers a comprehensive preschool program for children ages 18 months to 5 years old. Our classes teach co-ordination, speed, balance, endurance, and ocular-motor skills. More importantly, we enhance self-esteem, listening skills, problem-solving skills, and provide creative ways of using excess energy.

• Parent and Tot (ages 18 months to 3 years) : 50 minutes
• Tiny Titans (ages 3 and 4): 1 hour
• Kindergym (ages 4-5): 1 hour

Recreational Programs

Recreational classes at Titans are divided by both age and ability. Typically individuals enter at the beginner level, but due to our individualized progress evaluation they can advance through our levels at the pace most appropriate for them.

Titans Gymnastics Club follows the CANGYM Program. This program was created by Gymnastics Canada for the skill development of introductory gymnastics. It is widely used in clubs across the country and around the world.

 

CLASS LEVELS:

The CANGYM program consists of eleven badges. These badges are divided up over the four class levels offered at Titans.

Beginner: badges 1 (burgundy), 2 (red), and 3 (tan)

Intermediate One: badges 4 (bronze), 5 (purple), and 6 (blue)

Intermediate Two: badges 7 (turquoise) and 8 (silver)

Advanced: badges 9 (orange), 10 (yellow), and 11 (green)

 

BADGES:

Athletes work on skills specific to the badge they are working on, as well as other badges within their class level over the term. Once an athlete has mastered all key badge skills they advance to the next badge level. This means that athletes progress at an individual pace. There is no set or normal speed at which athletes progress through badges or levels. Some children may complete the required skills for Beginner over one term while others may take several terms to complete a specific badge. Badges typically take longer to complete in the higher levels. The final badge in a level is also typically more difficult to achieve (ie: badge 3, tan).  

 

REPORT CARDS:

Athletes receive both a midterm achievement award and a final report card per term. The midterm is a general recognition of skill improvement. In our fall term the midterm is usually handed out the last week in November and gives the level recommended for re-registration for the spring term. The midterms in the spring term are usually handed out early April. Final report cards are issued the last day of term. These offer a very detailed list of skill achieved and areas that need improvement. Badges are usually passed out with final reports.

 

COACHING:

Titans coaches follow the Gymnastics Canada approved National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP). The NCCP is widely considered to be one of the best coaching programs in the world.  

  Trampoline - 1 hour class

Titans also offers classes dedicated to trampoline. Athletes use our large competition size trampolines, as well as the double-mini. Achievement in our trampoline program is charted using our specially designed ribbon program.

Tumbling - 1.5 hrs

 This class offers athletes the chance to work on their tumbling skills with the aid of our equipment and trampolines. This class is popular with cheerleaders looking to advance their skill level in a safe environment. Tumbling is divided into beginner and advanced, with a backhandspring as the usual prerequisite for the advanced level.

Oldies

Our adult drop in class in available to those over 16 years of age interested in working on gymnastics equipment including the trampolines. This class is popular with retired gymnasts, as well as cheerleaders, snowboarders and other athletes looking for cross-training.

Registration is ongoing and will be accepted at any time. Fees will be prorated according to the week in which your child begins. Classes are subject to change due to enrollment numbers.

Fundraising

Titans is a non-profit, parent-run organization for which fundraising is essential. Fundraising is vital to our operations, upgrading and replacement of equipment and money necessary for our new building which is in the planning process. Under our fundraising approach, each child will pay a fundraising fee of $50 upon registration. You will receive a bag of 20 chocolate bars, which you may sell at $2.50 each to get your money back, eat yourself, or give away to friends.  If you do not want the bars we will accept $25 which is the profit we would realize from the sale of the bars. Thank you for your cooperation.

Additional Information:

Safety note: Please ensure that all athletes are wearing appropriate athletic clothing. No denim, belts, buckles, hoodies, and skirts as these are a safety hazard. Bare feet please! Shorts and t-shirt or bodysuits are best!  

Titans reserves the right to cancel one class per term without a makeup (weather or power cancellations only).  This is built into the fee calculation.
