What Happens In The Classes?
Equipment
Bean bags and hoops are used in floor exercises to help children build their balance, co-ordination and control, while introducing gymnastic shapes and basic elements such as supported rolls.
The group will also be introduced to various gymnastic apparatus, such as horse/vault, trampette and beam work, and work through varied exercises in a safe environment.
Development
Class members can work on moves that provide a structured development programme, and allow them to attain awards for completing certain skills in gymnastics.
Using assisted techniques to help overcome obstacles and learn how to best achieve results on equipment, each member can build on what they have learned each week to get their jumps bigger, hands placed down more firmly and confidently, and improve balance, strength and agility.
Progress
After a warm up and group stretch the class typically spends their time working on various apparatus and floor stations.
We always invite children to attend a taster fist, to ensure they enjoy it and the class is suitable, and it’s even possible to book a second taster if you’re not sure - sometimes it takes a couple of weeks for the children to get involved!
