Selected gymnasts are able to join our squad group and could be invited to regional/national events & competitions
Our Award scheme helps to encourage young gymnasts to individual success.
All Recreational classes are for boys and girls from rising 5 years and upwards. All levels of ability are coached. Qualified coaches teach and expand on basic gymnastic skills, and the gymnasts are encouraged to achieve badges and certificates at their own pace and ability.
Through our recreational classes we develop gymnastic abilities during the term and challenge our gymnasts with complementary badge work set at a level appropriate to the ability of the individual. We do not discriminate against any child regardless of their level or ability.

These classes are specifically designed by our Club Leader for children from 2 years to rising 5 years (school age)
The children are introduced to elementary gymnastics in an informal yet structured programme by a qualified pre-school coach. They learn basic gymnastics skills which include co-ordination, balance, strength and suppleness through a variety of activities including hand apparatus, music and pre-school gymnastics equipment. They are also encouraged in social skills, such as sharing, taking turns, considering others and politeness. In addition basic numeracy colours and shapes are applied through gymnastics, hand apparatus, music and badges
Pre-school members receive a priority place into the main recreational Saturday morning classes when they start full-time school.
