Afterschool & Weekend Gymnastics Classes in Watford

Our Recreational Classes

RECREATIONAL GYMNASTICS – FLIP, LEARN & SHINE! For gymnasts in Reception and up, these high-energy classes mix skill-building with smiles, and progress with play!

What to expect:

Dynamic warm-up to get moving
Two exciting apparatus stations per week focusing on a specific skill (rotated to keep it fresh!)
Partner-based activities to boost teamwork & confidence
Cool-down to wrap it all up
Stickers to celebrate your superstar effort!

These sessions have groups of a 1:10 which means big focus on each gymnast.

Children work towards our Dolphina Levels—starting at Level 8 and building up to Level 1. We aim for one level per term, but every gymnast moves at their own pace. All gymnasts receive a Gymnastics Journal to track their progress and collect stickers for each apparatus.

Classes are grouped by ability, not age, so every gymnast gets the challenge that’s right for them.
