Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) - Eligibility & Selection-based program

WAG is the most popular and widely recognized gymnastics discipline. It is a demanding sport that requires strength, power, flexibility, agility, and courage.

Athletes compete on four apparatus: vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise. Competitions take place throughout the year, with provincial-level gymnasts competing locally and across Western Canada, while national-level athletes travel throughout Canada and internationally.

Canadian Competitive Program (Levels 1-10):
This program is designed to ensure athletes build a strong foundation of basic skills for safe progression. Levels 1–5 follow compulsory routines, while Level 6 and higher allow for personalized routines that meet specific requirements.

Levels 1–5 are compulsory, and levels 6–10 are optional

Gymnasts perform routines that build on skills and choreography from previous levels
The goal is to qualify for provincial, Western Canadian, and Canadian national championships
