Sessions

Globally known as a fundamental movement sport, gymnastics provides the building blocks for all other sports, dance and martial arts, and for parkour and advanced gymnastic skills. The benefits in child development are widely documented and the cross transferable skills are innumerable. Our programmes enable children to become confident movers with strong bones and muscles, develop improved posture and balance, coordination and flexibility. Take all of this, add loads of fun and you have children that learn through exploration and play, and who are encouraged to be creative with their minds and bodies.

Coaches ensure a good warm up and end of session stretches in all classes.

Please note that our gymnasts need to re-enrol for each new term, membership does not roll over so it is new each term. Currently enrolled gymnasts from the previous term will be invited to re-register a week before enrolments are open to the public.

Fees: Term fee's are due in full before your gymnast attends their first session. Our term fee's are set, and take into account Public Holidays and on the odd occasion we have to cancel a session due to coach availability.

Session time: All of our sessions are 50mins unless otherwise stated, our session days and times are subject to change from term to term.
