Gymnastics
Run by fully BG qualified coaches, our gymnastics programme aims to inspire creativity, confidence and a love of movement through a structured and progressive learning programme. The scheme starts with a fun introductory syllabus for pre-school children allowing them to develop the basic foundations of gymnastic techniques. For more experienced gymnasts, the programme focuses on the development of core skills, working on balance, strength, flexibility, orientation activities and sequences. All ages will use a variety of equipment and apparatus.
About
Following the the National Gymnastics Award Programme (NatGAP) our coaches will help your child learn new skills and build on existing abilities as well as encouraging creativity and confidence, all in a safe, supportive and fun environment.
The NatGAP programme is designed to provide a comprehensive, structured and progressive learning system and aims to prepare children for fundamental skills right from the very start of their gymnastics journey, guiding them through the various stages of learning on a variety of different apparatus.
Coaches complete individual training books and awards can be achieved on each piece of apparatus (including floor, beam, vault, bars and hand apparatus) at each progressive level, ensuring motivation stays high!
