Classes

Our current classes include Pre-School, Recreational, Development Squad (invitation only), Tumble Squad (invitation only) and Acro Squad (invitation only).

A structured 50 minute class suitable for children aged 3-5 years old. These classes will help develop your child’s balance, coordination, confidence and help with their communication and listening skills. Gymnastics is great for toddlers because it helps develop cognitive function, strengthens their bones, promotes discipline and self-control, bolsters co-ordination, and most importantly it's a whole lot of fun for them!

Pre-School

A structured 50 minute recreational class suitable for children aged 4-12 years old. All gymnasts within the recreational program will develop important physical literacy skills whilst learning new skills on various equipment. Recreational classes are non-competitive and suitable for all children. Classes are different every week, which provides a progressive journey through recreational gymnastics. Typical classes will involve strength, flexibility and stamina training on the Bar, Beam, Floor, & Vault as well as exercises on the Trampette and Tumbling/Air Track.

Recreational Classes

Coaches will identify gymnasts who display talent and determination and they will be invited to a trial. These gymnasts will enter competitions throughout the year. This is an opportunity to train more hours a week to excel further in the sport, with the ultimate aim of training with the squads team. The session aims for the developmental squads is to focus on the key elements of tumbling, including round-offs and flicks, as well as improving flexibility, strength and to promote discipline and self-control. They will be assessed regularly to monitor progress, as well as being assessed on their mental focus. The ability to focus, listen to instructions, turn up with the aim to succeed and to perform in a competitive environment is important.

Development Squad

Tumbling is characterised by the complex, swift and rhythmical succession of acrobatic bounding from hands to feet, feet to hands or even feet directly back onto feet. A tumbling pass may be over in a matter of seconds and is performed on a tumbling track that is 25 meters in length. Our tumble squad is the pinnacle of the club, and they are required to train a minimum of 4 days a week to develop the advanced skills performed at regional and national competitions. These gymnasts are required to compete for our club in as many competitions as possible, and therefore need to show the ability to perform in a competitive environment.

Tumble Squad

Acrobatic Gymnastics is a modern and artistic discipline, which requires an extraordinary amount of courage and trust amongst gymnasts. The gymnasts work together in pairs/trios/groups towards routines constructed in accordance with the gymnasts’ physical and psychological qualities: the Top needs to be aerial, of small body feature, highly flexible and nimble, while the Bases need to be strong, steady and powerful. A mixed pair must always combine a male Base with a female Top. This squad accessible by invite only. Gymnasts will compete and perform individual and acrobatic elements in a partnership or group. Gymnasts are invited to join the Acro squad once they have shown a higher level of flexibility, strength, coordination, determination as well as the ability to perform basic gymnastics skills at a high standard.
