Gymnastics

 

 

Kinder Gym (1 to 4 year olds)

Kindergym is a movement program for children under 5 years of age and their caregiver, designed to develop the whole child socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically, in a safe, structured multi sensory environment.

Children may creatively explore and practise skills safely, whilst developing self confidence, self esteem and co-ordination. Children’s development is primarily gained through play and self exploration.

Kindergym is supervised by an accredited coach and no bookings are necessary.

 

 

Nippers (3 & 4 year olds requiring more structure)

A new stepping stone from Kindergym, offering full structure whilst maintaining 100% parental/care-giver involvement.

 

Tyrogym (4/5 year olds attending Kindergarten)

Tyrogym is the next step from Kindergym, or the first step towards more structured physical activity.

This is a gymsports based program allowing children who have commenced kindergarten, the opportunity to try out gymnastics and trampoline in a fully supervised and structured lesson type environment.

The basics of gymsports is taught including spatial awareness and co-ordination, with these skills beneficial and transferable to any other sporting endeavour the child may wish to explore.

Parents are invited to watch the program and offer support and encouragement to participants. The maximum coach/participant ratio is 1:12.

 

Levels Gymnastics Programs (Boys & Girls)

For the children who wish to further develop their skills and move into the competitive side of gymnastics.

Individual class groups for boys and girls allow children to develop areas specific to their own apparatus.

Lower level classes emphasise flexibility, strength, technique and self discipline allowing athletes to develop at their own pace.

As children progress through the levels, the number of hours and commitment increases, to allow optimal skill development as well as maintaining strength and flexibility.  Entry in competitions is encouraged as this allows club coaches and judges the opportunity to assess a child’s ability to progress to the next level.

NB: Club uniforms are compulsory for all competitions.

 

Non-Competitive Gymnastics.

Fully supervised sessions, for anyone young or old who wishes to experience the skills, strength and fun of gymnastics, without the pressure of structured lessons used by competing gymnasts. Very popular with athletes or people involved in other sports as a change to normal training regimes. These sessions are fun and self paced.
