Women’s Artistic Gymnastics is a very demanding and challenging sport, requiring high level strength, power, speed, flexibility, endurance, agility, form, technical precision and artistic performance. Our Women’s Competitive Program is for the more dedicated athlete and focuses on development of gymnastics excellence in an environment where athlete safety, health and wellness is our first priority. In their personal pursuit of excellence, each athlete benefits from ongoing personal and physical development that transfers well to their academic life, social development and performance in other athletic programs.

Shenderey’s women’s program focuses on the 4 apparatus:

• Vault requires speed and strength down the runway in order to generate sufficient momentum to produce a high and long post flight off the vault, essential for completing the various skills. Once in the air, the gymnast then focuses on sticking a perfect landing.
• Uneven Bars requires special timing to combine seeming effortless swinging elements with technically demanding ‘release’ moves, followed by the sticking of a perfect landing.Balance Beam demands great balance, strength and flexibility as the gymnast must perform demanding elements on a 10 cm. wide ‘stage’ that is 1 metre above the floor.
• Balance Beam demands great balance, strength and flexibility as the gymnast must perform demanding elements on a 10 cm. wide ‘stage’ that is 1 metre above the floor.
• Floor is an excellent example of where sport meets art. Each gymnast strives to merge her own unique personality and emotion into every performance while defying gravity in order to execute technically demanding tumbling elements.
