Introducing Our Awards System

The Galaxy Gymnastics Awards (GGA) is a fantastic program for our gymnasts to embark on a progressive and rewarding journey through recreational gymnastics. 

Our awards system, with stages and levels from Foundation to Advanced, lets young gymnasts build confidence and technique at a pace tailored to their abilities.

 

At Galaxy Gymnastics, we believe that every child can excel with the right blend of guidance, encouragement, and challenge. As they progress, they conquer new skills, gain resilience, and experience a true sense of accomplishment.
