Our after school classes are for children who are in reception and above, the session begins with a warm up and stretch followed by apparatus training ending with a cool down and ‘Star of the Week’ award. Children will focus on two pieces of apparatus a week, we feel this benefits our gymnasts as they have more time to develop on each apparatus/skill. Each apparatus will have 5 activities, children will work in partners and rotate round each activity. We have a 1:10 ratio in each group. Each class is design to help children improve their co-ordination, balance, flexibility, fitness as well as to help build confidence, communication and socializing skills. We want all children to enjoy their gymnasts and learn skills at their own pace.
We work towards the British Gymnastics Badges and aim for children to pass one Badge per term but in certain circumstances this may not be possible. There are 8 badges to achieve in total (8 being the lowest & 1 being the highest.) Each badge has certain skills children must be able to do in order to pass the badge. All our classes are based on ability rather than age.
