Gym Challenge

Back for another round, Gym Challenge 2022 took place on 14 March from 8am – 12nn in Bishan Sports Hall and saw an increase in participants and participating clubs compared to the previous year. 2022 March Gym Challenge saw an 18% increase in participants, 266 children in total from 5 different clubs, compared to 3 clubs from the year before.

The Gym Challenge is a participation event that involves fun, fitness, fundamentals, and friendship. It works through skills involving balance, coordination, strength, object manipulation and all these add up to a child's vocabulary of movement which enhances their physical literacy relevant ALL sports.

It is suitable for boys and girls of all ages, from all gymnastics disciplines to come and attempt the stations. As each of the 8 stations has 3 different levels of challenges, children can choose their level of difficulty and perform to the best of their abilities. Even if they did not try the other challenge levels in this round, they are always able to come back and challenge at the next event.

Each year, SG schedules 2 Gym Challenge opportunities; once in March in conjunction with National Championships and the other in November in conjunction with Gym Carnival. While SG was unable to carry out Gym Challenge in November 2021 due to restriction present at that point of time, SG looks forward to organising the Gym Challenge in conjunction with Gym Carnival 2022 with a charged-up version of skills from the March challenge.

Fun fact: The youngest Gym Challenger in 2022 was 4 years old! Age is just a number!
