Leap Gymnastics: Pioneering the Development of Gymnastics in India and Beyond
Leap Gymnastics is revolutionizing the sports scene in India with its commitment to developing gymnastics at a grassroots level. Since its inception 18 months ago, Leap Gymnastics has already trained over 1,000 gymnastics enthusiasts in Mumbai, with plans to expand its reach to more than 10,000 gymnasts across the country in the next five years.
Gymnastics is considered one of the best foundation sports for physical literacy, making it a crucial addition to India’s sports landscape. With a focus on agility, balance, coordination, motor skills, body posture, muscle/bone health, and mental, emotional, and social development, Leap Gymnastics aims to lay a strong foundation for aspiring athletes.
The initiative is not just about training individuals but also about building a robust sports ecosystem in the country. From developing world-class gymnastics centers to creating progressive training curriculums and structured pathways for high-performance sports, Leap Gymnastics is dedicated to nurturing talent and creating opportunities for Indian gymnasts to compete on a global stage, including the Olympics 2032.
In a strategic move to further enhance the sport in India, Leap Gymnastics has partnered with International Gymnastics Expert Kym Dowdell to develop a holistic Competitive Framework for Gymnastics. This framework, which includes fundamental, compulsory, optional, and high-performance programs, aims to increase participation and improve the performance levels of Indian gymnasts.
With a focus on developing a unified competitive framework, coach and judge development, and international collaborations, Leap Gymnastics is paving the way for India to tap into its untapped potential in gymnastics and compete for Olympic glory. As the initiative continues to grow and evolve, the future looks bright for gymnastics in India.
