Andekamaidsaab vajadusel edutada kõrgemasse astmesse, et tagada sujuv ning pidev areng võrdsetetreeningpartneritega.Kogu õppe-treeningprotsess jaguneb aastasteks tsükliteks. Aastane õppe-treeningprotsess jagunebomakorda kaheks poolaasta tsükliks (sügis-talvine ja suvine).Poolaasta tsükkel koosneb ettevalmistus-, võistlus- ja üleminekuperioodist.Võistlustegevus toimub vastavalt õpilaste tasemele ja oskustele, mis on ettevalmistusperioodikontrolliks. Sportliku taseme täiustamisel võistlussagedus tiheneb ja võistlused muutuvadtähtsamaks osaks õppeprogrammis. Vastavalt võistlustulemustele ehitatakse üles uus üleminekuja ettevalmistusperiood.5.4. Osavõtt võistlustestAlgettevalmistuse astme õpilased võtavad osa rühma- ja koolisisestest võistlustest. Samuti onvõimalik osa võtta ülelinnalistest algajatele suunatud võistlustest ning sõpruskohtumistest teisteklubidega. See aitab näidata tehtud töö efektiivsust ja vahetada kogemusi teiste treeneritega.Õppe-treeningastme õpilased võistlevad koolisisestel, lahtistel, vabariiklikel ja sõprusvõistlustel,tugevamad ka rahvusvahelistel võistlustel.Meisterlikkuse astme eesmärk on anda järelkasvu Eesti noorte ja täiskasvanute koondisele.5.5.
