WE ALSO WORK TO THE BRITISH GYMNASTICS BADGE SCHEMES AND WE DO INTRODUCE THE GYMNASTS TO SPORTS ACROBATICS BUT AT A VERY LOW LEVEL.
BEGINNERS GYMNASTICS
BEGINNERS/ NOVICE GYMNASTICS
OUR BEGINERS CLASSES AIM TO INTRODUCE GYMNASTICS TO OUR YOUNGEST MEMBERS. THEY WILL LEARN THE BASIC SKILLS AND WILL DEVELOP A GOOD SENSE OF BODY AWARENESS. OUR CLASSES ALSO ENCOURAGE CHILDREN TO SOCIALISE AND LEARN HOW TO WORK TOGETHER, AS WELL AS TEACHING THEM SKILLS THAT THEY WILL NEED FOR NURSERY AND SCHOOL SUCH AS LISTENING TO AND FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS, LINING UP ETC.

THE ACRO SQUAD
Acrobatic Gymnastics (previously called Sport Acrobatics and nicknamed "Acro") is a competitive gymnastic discipline where partnerships of gymnasts work together and perform routines consisting of acrobatic moves, dance and tumbling, set to music. Gymnasts perform three routines; a 'balance' routine where the focus is on strength, poise and flexibility; a 'dynamic' routine which includes throws, somersaults and catches, and (Only level 6 and above) a 'combined' routine which includes elements from balance and dynamic.
Acrobatic gymnasts perform in pairs or groups and enter into and are judged at a specific level or age group category. In each partnership, the gymnasts' different sizes and abilities will be balanced to complement each other in order to carry out the complex moves. Some will mainly carry out supporting and pitching (throwing) roles, and are known as bases. They are then balanced with smaller, often more flexible, gymnasts who become the 'tops'. The different partnerships seen in competition are:
women's pair (two females)
men's pair (two males)
mixed pair (a male base and a female top)
women's group (three females)
men's group (four males)
In competition, partnerships perform a routine to music, that has usually been choreographed specifically for them. The gymnasts carry out their acrobatic moves and combine them with dance, all in time to and in keeping with the style of the music. Partnerships are judged on artistry, difficulty of skill and the execution of skills.
PRE SCHOOL
THIS IS A FUN AND EXCITING CLASS THAT COMBINES GYMNASTICS AND TRAMPOLINING. RUN BY QUALIFIED COACHES, CHILDREN WILL BE INTRODUCED TO BASIC GYMNASTICS AND TRAMPOLINING SKILLS. PARENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO HELP THEIR CHILD IN USING THE EQUIPMENT AND SPOTTING BY THE TRAMPOLINE. EACH MONTH HAS A THEME THAT THE CHILDREN CARRY THROUGH THE WARM UP, GYMNASTICS AND EXPLORING TIME. THEY WILL THEN RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE AT THE END OF THE MONTH CONGRATULATING THEM ON PASSING THAT MONTHS THEME. EACH CLASS ALSO ENDS WITH SONG TIME WHERE THE CHILDREN WILL SING ALONG AND LEARN A SHORT SEQUENCE OF ACTIONS (development of memory training and rhythm)

FREE RUNNING
Freestyle sports are dynamic and exciting, gaining popularity within the UK for providing participants with the ability to express themselves creatively through movement and an incredible range of tricks. To help capture the power and explosive nature of freestyle, British Gymnastics has developed a new club-based activity called FreeG, which comes indoors and introduces a range of freestyle-specific equipment and training techniques to take your trick learning, to a new level.
FreeG fuses traditional gymnastic and acrobatic tricks, with kicks and leaps made famous through martial arts and brought to worldwide attention by festival performers and stunt actors.
FreeG gets your body moving in ways never thought possible. It will get your heart racing and develop a heightened sense of spatial awareness that can be put to good use in a variety of other sports (including boarding, biking, skiing, climbing and surfing.)
Don’t take our word for it, ‘release your freedom’ today.
SCHOOL CURRICULUM AND EXTRA CURRICULUM
School sessions run either after of during school hours. These sessions can be delivered either at our purpose equipped centre or at the school site.
​
Whole class sessions available for any school and any ability.
Idea for gifted and talented programmes/ GCSE groups or for those who wish to participate in the sport as an extra curriculum activity to enhance a healthy well being.
Head Coach is trained to secondary school PE Teacher so the curriculum delivery can be created to support the schools schemes of work and learning needs.
Learning objectives are set for three areas of learning (all, most and some) so that all participants are challenged yet achieve at their own pace.
