Gymnastics (5 - 16yrs)

The Howard School

Gymnastics 5–16yrs A fun, structured class for children aged 5–16, suitable for beginners through to intermediate gymnasts. Sessions are non-competitive and focus on building strength, flexibility, balance, and confidence at each child’s own pace. We follow an award system where children can …moreearn badges and certificates, giving them exciting goals to work towards and celebrating their progress without the pressure of competition. Our wide age range works really well — younger gymnasts are inspired by the older ones, while older gymnasts are challenged with more advanced skills, ensuring that nobody is held back and everyone can progress at their own level. Classes use a wide variety of equipment including bars, beams, vault, floor, ropes, and rings, keeping sessions engaging and full of variety. Parents should remain with their child until they have been registered into the class, as we cannot take responsibility for children left unattended beforehand. After registration, parents are welcome to either leave and return at the end of the session, or stay to watch from the viewing corridor (please note: no access is permitted inside the gym). There is on-site parking directly outside the door for easy drop-off and collection. After the trial, an Independent Gymnastics membership is required to continue. less
