Pre-School Gymnastic classes
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, consideration and discipline.
From 3 years plus, they work towards badges and certificates.
Pre-school members receive a priority place into the main recreational Saturday morning classes when they start full-time school.

Squad Gymnastic training
We are proud to offer a high level of Artistic coaching to the more advanced boy or girl gymnast. They may have the opportunity to train with our squads from 2 to 20 hours per week.
The gymnast will be guided according to ability towards grades or to an Elite standard. They may have the opportunity to enter regional and national competitions.
Women's Artistic Gymnastics consists of four pieces of apparatus; Vault, Bars, Beam and Floor. The apparatus are very demanding and it is important that as many hours as possible are put into training to become familiar and confident in these dynamic disciplines.

Men's Artistic Gymnastics consists of six pieces of apparatus: Vault, High Bar, Pommel, Parallel Bars, Rings and Floor. These demanding disciplines once again require as many hours training as possible to become strong and confident in these spectacular skills.
Squad training is held every day of the week.
