STORTFORD GYMNASTICS

This is a 45-minute class for children aged from 3 until they start Reception, and is the first opportunity for them to be in the gym on their own.
All sessions will have a theme which will be introduced during the group warm-up. One week, the theme may be sports; the children will be ‘surfing’ on the beam, another week they may be at the circus balancing on the ‘tight rope!’
For much of the lesson, the children will work in small groups. Each activity will be designed to help them develop a particular gymnastic skill e.g. forward roll, handstand. We will encourage the children to keep active throughout the session with ribbons, hoops and other hand apparatus designed to develop their fine motor skills further.

This is a 45-minute class for children aged from 3 until they start Reception, and is the first opportunity for them to be in the gym on their own. There will be up to 21 children in the class, depending on the number of gymnasts per class will depend on the coach ratio. Up to 16 gymnasts is at least 2 qualified coaches, up to 21 gymnasts is 3 qualified coaches. Where possible, we also aim to provide a non-qualified helper in all our Pre-School classes.

The children will have the opportunity to work towards their Pre-School 1, 2 & 3 Awards.

We have a fantastic, highly qualified team of Pre-School Coaches, who are extremely warm and welcoming to the children and will ensure they all have a fabulous time!
