Rhythmic Gymnastics

CCA Overview

Rhythmic Gymnastics combines elements of ballet, dance and gymnastics. The CCA offers Training Team and Developmental Team pathways. The Developmental Team focuses on fundamental motor skills, basic flexibility, and introductory apparatus work. The Training Team is a high-commitment, selection-only track geared towards the National School Games (NSG). Both pathways aim to allow students to develop their skills and confidence while enjoying movement and performance.

Learning And Development

Students will be able to develop a host of Physical & Technical Skills such as flexibility and posture, coordination and agility, apparatus handling as well as musicality and rhythm. Through their regular participation, students also develop Life Skills and Character which include discipline and focus, confidence and expression, respect and resilience as well as teamwork and leadership.

Typical Activities

Sessions begin with warm-up and stamina-building exercises, such as running, jumps and turns, back bends and split-leap practice. Students then work on basic body movements and techniques involving the legs, shoulders, chest, waist, knees and ankles. They also practise handling apparatus—including balls, ropes, hoops and clubs—and develop movement sequences and routines to music. Activities are adapted to students’ team and skill levels.

Opportunities And Experiences

Training team gymnasts are selected to represent MCS at the annual National School Games. Training team members and selected Developmental Team members may also have opportunities to perform at school events. Participation in competitions and performances depends on team placement, readiness and selection.

Commitment and Expectations

Students are expected to attend CCA sessions regularly, participate actively and demonstrate commitment, discipline and resilience. Training for Developmental Team is held once a week. The Training team trains three times a week. Additional training during school holidays may be planned when preparing for competitions and performances.

Attire, Equipment and Costs

Students should wear PE attire for training. Basic apparatus like balls and ropes will be provided. Competition leotards and any other required attire or personal equipment may involve costs.
