AOSR After School Activities

This is a course which combines typical gymnastics practices with a variety of artistic expression. The Artistic gymnastics  program provides our kindergarten - 12th grade students the opportunity to train three times a week and participate in competitions at least twice throughout the year. The goal is to develop individual skill, fitness and a love of sport. Training is divided into three parts: warmup/stretching and fitness, gymnastics apparatus work and strength training. We have traditionally participated in a winter competition in Viterbo, in addition to the AOSR Gymnastics Cup, in the third week of May. The Cup is attended by almost 100 gymnasts from 6 different programs around Rome.
