Our Aim
We are passionate about offering high quality, fun, engaging, progressive classes for children aged 3-11 years old in the local community.
Gymnastics is arguably the most important core sport for children teaching fundamental skills such as strength, flexibility, coordination & confidence, key to either continuing in the sport of gymnastics or transferring these skills to other sports. Gymnastics is a very popular sport for both boys and girls.
Regular exercise has been proved to help children to develop at emotional, cognitive and physical levels.
