Program Styles

Artistic Gymnastics

Trampoline & Tumbling

Acro & Tumbling

Acro & Tumbling has an extra focus on handstands and includes partner and group acrobatics, acroyoga, tumbling, walkovers, handsprings, and flips. The World Gymnaestrada Prep Team is also an Acro & Tumbling program, but with more direction and longer-term goals. See below. Our Performance Teams are also Acro & Tumbling programs, but with participants working towards a choreographed group routine, to be performed non-competitively at a showcase with an audience.

*NEW* Parkour

Parkour includes handstands, trampoline skills, side flips, crashing skills, wall skills, and other parkour fundamentals like precision jumps, tac and stride, vaults, swings, and balance skills.

World Gymnaestrada Prep Team

Preparing for World Gymnaestrada in Lisbon, Portugal, July 2027

World Gymnaestrada is an enormous international gymnastics festival that happens every four years. The next one is in Lisbon, Portugal in July 2027. There will be 18,000+ participants from over 60 countries! By numbers, it's bigger than the Olympics! The average participant age is 35, with people of all ages performing, from ages 2 to 93 years old.

​

In preparation to represent Canada in 2027, CAPTivate will be running a 1-year World Gymnaestrada Prep Team, in Calgary, Edmonton and Yellowknife, all training simultaneously on Sunday evenings. We will be working together but separately on acrobatics and tumbling skills that will be incorporated into the next CAPTivate World Gymnaestrada routine. We will not be working on any routine choreography. This Prep Team is for ALL skill levels, experience levels, and ages.

​

The cost of the prep team is the same as 3 back-to-back regular sessions (Sept-Dec, Jan-March, April-June) with the same registration and payment schedule (approx. $399 per session). In addition, participants will have the option to get a head start on paying for the 2-year Sept 2025 - July 2027 World Gymnaestrada Team (approx. $5000 split into smaller payments over 2 years). We will also begin our team fundraising this year and we will have team-building social events too.

​

Joining the Prep Team is not a commitment to joining the 2-year Worlds Team afterwards. It is a chance for you to work with your future coaches, meet your future teammates, see your training facility, and learn more about the process. Similarly, you do not need to join the Prep Team to join the 2-year Worlds team in Sept 2025. The 2-week Trial Period policy and the make-up class policy apply to the Worlds Prep Team.

​

We will be having an Orientation Night on September 15, 2024. If you're interested in this Prep Team or the full 3-year Worlds journey, register for the Worlds Prep Team, attend the Orientation Night, and you will have the option to drop out after the first or second class if it's not what you were expecting

 

Please reach out if you want more information about this opportunity. It's going to be SO MUCH FUN!

“CAPTivate creates a culture of inclusivity and growth. Coaches and athletes alike are encouraging and supportive of each other, regardless of skill or fitness level. It's refreshing to see a group of people so invested in each others' growth and development as athletes.”
