STAGE 2

ECHIDNAS

Building control & coordination

At this stage, girls begin linking skills together. Movements become more deliberate as gymnasts refine their shapes, strengthen their core and develop greater balance across apparatus.

In this one hour class, handstands are introduced with support, cartwheels begin travelling with direction, and beam work progresses to medium height. Swing development on bars encourages upper body strength and rhythm, while trampoline and vault focus on coordinated take-offs and stable landings.

There is a noticeable shift here. Movement feels more purposeful, and girls grow in confidence as they begin to understand how skills connect.
