Can my child attend mutiple sessions?

Yes your child can attend two beginner classes a week, this will help your child progress faster and fast track moving up to the next level. However please note that signing up for additional classes will occur an additional cost. Your child's will be offered to move up a level once they are ready to progress past the beginner level.

Am I able to stay & watch my child's gymnastics lesson?
Our viewing area will be available for parents to watch classes during viewing weeks. The viewing week calendar dates are available on our door at the club. Our viewing policy has been put in place to benefit every child, helping them get the most out of their classes. Not only are children more focused which benefits their progression within gymnastics, it also helps strengthen independence and confidence.

What child protection and other policies does the club follow?

A disclosure and barring service (DBS) background check is completed by British Gymnastics on all staff & coaches. The DBS prevents unsuitable adults from working with vulnerable groups, including children. The club has a full time welfare officer who has been fully trained by British Gymnastics & Sports Coach UK. Please refer to our policies page for more information.

We're unable to attend our lesson this week, can I swap to another day for one week? 

Unfortunately classes are non transferable as we stick to strict numbers in our coach to participant ratio.

You are welcome to contact us for more information, we are happy to answer any questions you may have.

How might my child progress through the club?

We proudly offer classes for various abilities ranging from complete Beginners through to Women’s Artistic Squads. Our two pathways ensures appropriate progression and opportunities for every gymnast no matter their ability or personal ambitions. Meaning every gymnast has the opportunity to work to their potential.

When do they get to move up a level?

At each level gymnasts work towards achieving a set group of skills across each of the apparatus. Once gymnasts have achieved everything in the lesson plans and are ready to progress onto harder skills they’ll be offered to move up to the next appropriate level. As every child progresses differently and will learn at their own pace it varies how long they’ll work at each level. But rest assured, our expert coaches continuously assess gymnasts for readiness of moving up a level. Different factors are considered when assessing a gymnast to move up. Our goal is to ensure every gymnast is progressing well but most importantly enjoying their lessons too!
