WAG Junior Squads
Juniors Program Overview
Our Juniors Program is designed to operate in a squad-style structure, providing gymnasts with consistency, teamwork, and ongoing progression. Beginning at Juniors 3 (the entry level of the Juniors Stream), gymnasts will train twice per week for two hours per session. This schedule helps create a stable training routine and ensures steady development of skills, strength, and confidence. Each squad will have the same coaching team and train with the same group of gymnasts each session depending on the squad chosen, fostering a supportive and team-oriented environment.
Gymnasts in the Juniors Program will be invited to participate in several local competitions throughout the year.
Participation in competitions is optional, and assessments for progression will run similarly to the Foundations Stream, allowing gymnasts to advance based on their skill development and readiness.
The Juniors Stream follows the skills and routines developed by Gymnastics Australia and currently offers classes up to ALP Level 5 (Australian Levels Program) — with plans to expand to Level 6 in the near future.

Competition Calendar
During the year our Junior Gymnasts will be offered an opportunity to compete at events held within the Cairns region, these will include events held at South Cairns – Winter Warm Ups and Halloween. Competitions are not compulsory however we do strongly encourage our gymnasts to participate in at least 2 events per year. The Junior Competition Season generally runs from May through to the end of October. In Levels 3–5 the format of their competition transitions from certificate based to competitive gymnastics where they will have the opportunity to compete against other gymnasts and potentially be awarded from 1st–6th place in each apparatus and overall.
