Recreational Classes
Recreational classes cater for both boys and girls from 5-12 years of age. Gymnastics teaches children coordination, discipline, listening skills as well as gross and fine motor skills. It promotes good health by improving strength, flexibility and fitness. The children participate in activities such as tumbling, balancing, swinging and jumping in a fun and safe environment. Classes have a ratio of 1 coach to 8 children.
Beginner children participate in the Stepping Stone Award Scheme which involves the children working through eight progressions leading to the National Levels Scheme. A grading is held towards the end of each term and certificates are given out on the last day of each term to all the children. As it is important to work within the child’s natural development stages, each child progresses at his/her own pace, which allows the individual to feel safe while building confidence. A sheet with skill content is on show in the display case in the viewing area near the cafe.
