Gymnastics is associated with the expression of motor skills and body movements . Not only does it teach balance and coordination , it is also an excellent way for establishing strength , flexibility and fitness . In SJI , dedication to the sport is displayed by our gymnasts , who attend regular training three times a week despite a busy schedule . The regular training has proven to be beneficial to their physical growth as they soldiered on towards the national competitions .
