Gymnastics school (CSAC and SWF)
Whether balancing on a beam or spinning through the air, gymnastics is a fantastic sport to be involved in!
Our gymnastics school offers everything your child needs to learn how to tumble through the air with ease. Sessions are led by fully qualified coaches, and children have use of a full-sized beam, A-bars, floor area and vault.
Our school is suitable for children of any age or ability.
Parent and toddler gymnastics
A play session for toddlers, where they can have a go on a bouncy castle and use basic gymnastics equipment in a safe and fun environment adapted to a walk-around assault course.
These sessions run on Tuesdays from 9.30am to 10.20am and are suitable for children aged from 0 to 3.
However, from 15 April, these sessions will be moved to a Wednesday.
Tots gymnastics
Under-fives can have their first try at gymnastics with our professional equipment in a safe environment. Our qualified coach will offer gentle guidance.
These sessions run on Tuesdays from 10.30am to 11.20am and are suitable for children aged from 3 to 5.
However, from 15 April, these sessions will be moved to a Wednesday.
Recreational gymnastics (ages 5 and up)
Our recreational gymnastics are the perfect follow on from our pre-school classes or for those children that are of school age 5 and up.
The sessions are coach-led, with a dynamic warm up and games followed by building on their skills on the vault, floor, beams and bar. Gymnasts will finish their session with a structured cool down led by our coaches.
Gymnasts will learn the grass roots foundation moves that will allow them to progress into other sports. Our sessions are non-competitive and are designed to help students work on skills such as cartwheels, forward and backward rolls, handstands and the beginning of somersaults and tumbling.
Our recreational sessions run every Sunday morning from:
- 8.30am to 9.30am for ages 5 to 7
- 9.40am to 10.40am for ages 8 to 11
