Fraser Valley Rhythmic Gymnastics
What is Rhythmic
Gymnastics?
Rhythmic Gymnastics (RG) is an artistic
sport that combines unique body move-
ments with apparatus such as balls,
ribbons, ropes and hoops. Gymnastics
is one of the three foundational sports
(along with swimming and athletics), and
can build a child’s potential for ANY sport,
plus it is FUN! Teaching kids to enjoy
exercise and physical activity will have a
lasting impact on their attitudes towards
movement throughout their lives. RG is
fundamental for developing basic body
movements and hand-eye coordination,
which contributes to building physical
literacy. RG also allows gymnasts to
perform, get creative with movement, and
encourages them to shine with the skills
they are most proud of. Competitively,
RG offers both individual and group cate-
gories, so the gymnast can choose what
is most enjoyable.
Why FVRG?
FVRG is dedicated to following and
exceeding all safety standards/policies,
and has approved
memberships with
Rhythmic Gymnas-
tics BC and Gym-
nastics Canada.
Our coaches all en-
gage in the National
Coaching Certification
Program and are held
to the highest standards.
Our club leaders are some
of the most educated coach
education leaders in Canada.
We provide a safe environment
where parents can watch children
while they participate in programs.
FVRG strives to offer programs for
athletes in all stages of the Long
Term Athlete Development Model,
respecting that not all bodies are
built for competitive RG, but all can
benefit from RG training. We want to
see children develop healthy habits,
challenge themselves through sport
and movement, and have fun while
doing it, so a lifetime of active par-
ticipation is not only achievable
but habitual.
FVRG offers classes
for ages 2+ in our
brand new home gym
in Chilliwack, up to six
community schools in
Chilliwack, and are now
expanding programs into
Agassiz and Hope.
