Building strength confidence, and SMILES in preschool gymnasts!

Me & My Shadow
Me & My Shadow – A Magical Start to Movement! Previously known as our ‘With-Parent’ class, Me & My Shadow is a coach-led adventure where parents/carers guide their little ones through exciting gymnastics challenges—learning fundamental shapes, movements, and coordination together.
Think giggles, grip strength, and growing brains! These sessions help your child build core developmental skills like focus, balance, spatial awareness, and body control—all while having a blast.
Each class includes:
- A playful warm-up to get bodies moving
- Two rotations of exciting, child-friendly obstacle courses using real gymnastics equipment
- Time for free exploration—so your child can dive into their favourite station of the day!
These sessions are perfect for children who aren’t quite ready to go solo just yet, offering a safe and inspiring stepping stone into independent movement.
For children aged 18 months to 3 years
Join us for the joy of first tumbles, shared discovery, and shadowing your superstar-in-the-making!
