Throughout the term children work towards our Dolphina Levels.

Each gymnast in our after school and weekend classes are given a ‘Gymnastics Journal’ this shows the parent and gymnast what level they are working towards and the skills that need to be achieved, parents and gymnasts can track their progress with the journal. Gymnasts are given three stickers each week to put in their journal, two apparatus stickers and one feedback sticker.

*Gymnastics Journals are included within your termly fees & joining fee however, if you loose your journal there will be a small charge to replace it.

Children in our Me & My Shadow Classes work towards the fundamental badges. Children in our Little Gymnasts Class work towards the BG proficiency 1st, 2nd & 3rd badges.

Levels 8 to 5 are worked in the novice classes. Once children have passed Badge 5 they move to our intermediate classes. They then work badges 4 to 1. Once they have passed there badge 1 they move to our Advanced classes and work towards the Bronze, Silver & Gold levels.

If your child has passed a badge you will receive any email. Badges and Certificates are available to purchase from Reception. You will need to show the email.
