About our Advanced sessions
Children and teens aged 7 to 16 years
Overview
Our gymnastic syllabus focuses on skills for the Vault, bars, beam, and floor apparatus. Participants also work on perfecting their basics and start working towards more complex skills.
What to expect
Our two-hour classes start with a pulse-raising warm up on the floor area – all designed to incorporate strength, flexibility and mobility exercises essential for gymnastic progression – and then focus on two pieces of apparatus for the session.
Our gymnasts rotate between beam and bars one week and vault and floor the next.
Our class ratio is nine gymnasts to one coach, who divides the class into three groups of three to work on skills related to that week’s apparatus. This allows our gymnasts to maximise their time practising and not waiting for turns. As an integral part of our coaching ethos, extra help is given to those who need it.

For most gymnastic levels, 4 blocks of classes run throughout the year. The number of weeks in each block will range from 14-17, with a short block over the summer period. There will be a week off at the end of Summer and over Christmas. Once you enrol on a block of classes you will then be notified of re-enrolment 4 weeks prior to the next block commencing.
You will have 2 weeks to make payment to secure your child’s place, before the place is offered to the waiting list.
