The Elite level is for athletes who have a background in gymnastics and acro. They should have already developed their individual skills and be ready to add flipping and twisting to the dynamic throws and catches involved in acrobatics. As well handstand work, strength and flexibility will be the focus of the physical preparation component of the Elite program. Routine development, multiple routines, choreography, artistry and peak performance will all be emphasized in this level. Athletes in the Elite program will compete at Provincial competitions, Provincial Championships and have the opportunity to participate in meets across Canada and possibly internationally.
