Special Needs Gymnastics

RSAC in conjunction with the YMCA work together to provide a modified Men’s & Women’s Artistic Gymnastic programs for all athletes with a disability. The program offers year-round sports training and athletic competition to children and adults with intellectual and physical disabilities. Participation is open to anyone ages 4 and older, and programs are designed to serve all ability levels. There are 2 classes available at Bankstown City YMCA, Recreational 5.30-6.30pm and Competitive 6.30-8.00pm. The Recreational Program is designed to apply gross and fine motor skills as well as developing strength, coordination and body awareness through the use of equipment and a fun structured and safe environment. The competitive program provides all of the above plus the introduction of routines that are learnt, remembered and competed at Special Olympic competitions throughout the state. This program allows athletes to build self esteem, confidence and independence along with the physical attributes a gymnastics program offers.
