More about our classes:

What we do (Beginners)

Beginners classes are for those aged 4 and 5 years.

Training sessions will typically consist of an aerobics-style warm up to increase the pulse rate of the gymnasts, followed by flexibility and strength-specific warm-ups. This will be followed by a skill-based session where gymnasts are taught and encouraged to practice and perfect a variety of skills and balances. The session will end with a cool-down period before dismissal.

Tuition is differentiated by ability and experience.

What comes next

Improvers classes are for gymnasts aged 6 years and above.

Entry into the intermediate/advanced group is at the invitation of the head coach. These groups may be offered the opportunity to attend on more than one day.

Gymnasts may be given the opportunity to trial for our elite groups, to prepare for competition in either acrobatics or tumbling. Note that these competitive groups are invitation-only.
