The Singapore Gymnastics Development Programme (SGDP) for WAG, MAG and RG, was introduced in 2019. Since then, the programme has continued to develop and grow.
The goals of the programme are threefold:
The SGDP is an ANNUAL PROGRAMME, with information and education for coaches, athletes and parents throughout the year, as well as training camps in June and November.
The aim of the SGDP is to develop the next generation of athletes and coaches through engaging in pre-junior ages, so they are better equipped to join the High-Performance Pathway in Junior divisions in the future.
The focus of the programme is on long term development. Success is driven through the work done by coach and athlete every day in the gym, and the better quality this work is, the better the long term outcome.
Through this programme, SG will build the capacity and capability of our clubs, as well as implement long term tracking of athlete development, to ensure our athletes and coaches are better equipped for future success.
Invitations for the annual programme will be made to athletes competing at National Championships who fit the criteria below for 2024:
