Our current program for gymnastics activities is to prepare school aged children for gymnastics skills by building progressive steps of strength, flexibility, shapes, actions and timing.  As each stage, children are supported, developed and evaluated through enjoyable activities that progress through the levels of classes.  Throughout the year we work on a mixture of skill acquisition, proficiency awards, displays and competitions, to provide opportunities for all aspirations within the sport.  Whilst there are no specific age groups associated with each class, the Foundation and Improvers sessions are aimed at earlier school years, although we try to allocate trial sessions according to expected level of confidence and basic movement skills.  Following a trial session or two, we will recommend the best class to suit a child's needs and level.

Class levels: 

• Foundation - The building blocks of gymnastics, with fundamental movement skills, balance, shapes, basic strength and flexibility, bars strength and confidence, and basic moves, for example: rolls, the foundations for handstands, cartwheels and the beginnings of vault and beam work.  This is the first fun stage of learning gymnastics and can be a great stepping stone from pre-school to gymnastics classes.

​

• Improvers - Developing strength, flexibility and shapes further and improving the basic skills begun in foundation.  We work on perfecting skills, for example: rolls, handstands, cartwheels, jumps and apparatus work, ready for the next level of skills.    

• Intermediate - Continuing in the same development of strength, flexibility and quality of shapes, with a progression to intermediate skills, for example: round offs, handstand rolls, walkovers, more advance vaulting skills, beam and bar skills.

​

• Intermediate Plus - Our 'Intermediate Plus' group have progressed well within the class structure and are working on developing specific skills required in the Advanced groups.  These skills can take longer to learn and need more support, progression and confidence for some.  These classes adjust to gymnasts' strengths and focuses less on skills attainment and more on 'athlete lead' choice and engagement.  

​

• Pre Advanced - This group is by invitation only and provides an opportunity for gymnasts to develop within a specific focus towards competition and performance.  Children with the capability and desire to progress a little faster can work on skills required at Advanced Rec level while waiting for a place to become available within that class.

​

• Advanced Rec - As the name suggests, our Advanced Recreational group work towards more demanding tumbles, vaults, bars and beam work; often attending both Advanced sessions to achieve the level of body conditioning and skill repetition required to maintain safe and effective performance of these more difficult activities.
