Recreational
All new gymnasts will begin their gymnastics journey in these classes. The classes are specifically designed to improve fundamental movements and develop key areas such as balance, strength, co-ordination and flexibility. The gymnasts will play fun warm up games followed by group work spent on the Vault, Bars, Beam and Floor. They will also get the opportunity to run, jump and play in our purpose built foam pit. The main emphasis of our recreational gymnastics program is to have fun.
