Question 1

Are your classes suitable for all?

Accepted Answer

YES, our classes are designed to accommodate a wide range of individuals. We offer classes for various age groups, including parent and toddler free play (0-4), pre-school (2-3), primary school (Reception, KS1 & KS2), secondary school (KS3 & KS4), and adult classes (16+). We also provide classes specifically tailored for disabled individuals. Our classes are open to all genders and skill levels, as they are organised to be mixed ability and mixed gender groups.

Question 2

How many other children will be in my child's class?

Accepted Answer

We maintain a small gymnast-to-coach ratio to ensure personalised attention and effective coaching. Each class will have a ratio of 8 gymnasts to 1 coach, eg: a class of 16 would have 2 coaches. Elements of a gymnastics session may be taught as a whole class or may be taught in smaller groups, always being delivered on the 8:1 ratio. This setup guarantees that your child will receive ample support and guidance during their gymnastics journey.

Our classes run throughout the entire year, with the exception of specific holiday periods such as Christmas, New Year's, and Easter. To stay informed about any updates or changes in the schedule, we encourage you to follow us on social media and regularly visit our website for announcements.

We also host school holiday camps for both members and non members. For more info on holiday camps please use the button below.

Overall, our curriculum aims to improve physical, social, and mental well-being.
