Twinkling Stars
Unstructured free-play session with coach guided warm-up/cool down
Suitable for walking up to 4 years old
These classes are perfect for any budding young gymnast with energy to burn! The gymnasts will develop their co-ordination, balance, strength and social skills in a FREE PLAY setting. Our expert coaches will set up challenging circuits & stations for parents and children to try at their own pace and will be on hand to help and guide you through them. Gymnasts and grown-ups will then be brought together at the end to engage in some co-operation & social skill activities through parachute games and hand apparatus exploration.
Rising Stars
Structured parent & child session
Suitable for walking up to 4 years old
This class will allow young gymnasts to work with their parents in a structured and challenging session. They will be guided through circuits expertly designed to improve balance, strength & co-ordination whilst developing fundamental gymnastics & social skills. Parents will be expected to accompany their child throughout this session and will be shown how to best encourage and support their gymnast through the set-ups.
Shooting Stars
Structured independent gymnast session. Parents watch from the mezzanine viewing area
Suitable for Age 3 – 4 years old
During this session parents can relax on our mezzanine viewing area while their gymnasts are led through our progressive and challenging circuits with our highly qualified coaches. This structured session will allow young gymnasts to independently develop their gymnastics and explore the apparatus in a fun and engaging atmosphere. Once the gymnasts have completed the independent circuits there will be time for them to invite their grown-up downstairs with them to show them what they’ve learned today and have some ‘play time’ together!
