What are the advantages of the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association rules? Coaches of Academy training camp participants weigh in

The classes for athletes at Academy training camps are focused on the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association rules.

The coaches who came with their students explained why these rules are so fitting for their gymnasts.

Elena Kopyshevskaya from Moscow shared her impressions of the classes and highlighted the rules’ features.

"There are magnificent halls here, highly professional coaches and choreographers. Children engage in compensatory physical activity. Their life and what they eat are so well organized that you feel at home. The Sky Grace rules are more improved, of course, some criteria have been changed there, and they are aimed more at pure execution. I think that without a base there is no future," Elena said.

Yulia Kuznetsova from Tyumen noted that the Academy staff help gymnasts improve their skills at the training camp.

"The coaches here are very amazing, they have an individual approach to each child, they will approach each person,  talk to them, explain. In general,  there are all conditions a child needs to train and develop," Yulia said.

Juliet Kudzoeva from Vladikavkaz also emphasized that according to the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association rules, gymnasts have the opportunity to express themselves.

"According to the Russian rules, when we are one element on top of another, we can’t display and show this whole performance during an exercise. And according to the Sky Grace rules, we can show all the dance tracks, a limited number of elements, that is, the purity of the legs, the purity of the elements. So this is a blessing, that the children are simply delighted," Juliet said.

The training camp for gymnasts from different regions is held at the Academy from June 2 to June 9.
