Our recreational gymnastics programme is designed to engage school aged children in a developmental, fun and friendly way. The aim is to develop your child’s physical literacy through gymnastics – which means that they will develop their confidence and motivation for sport and physical activity, as well as their physical movement skills, flexibility, strength and coordination. During these sessions we will work on the basics of gymnastics using all the apparatus, with the emphasis on FUN.
In these classes, each term children will work towards the RISE award scheme. When your child achieves an award, you will receive a letter from their coach and will be invited to purchase a certificate and medal. We feel that children thrive on rewards, so we continually seek for your children to improve and achieve their awards.
