Tumbling Stars Gymnastics classes
Age Group: 4 -12 years. Children must be in reception class or above.
Training Times: Classes are between 45 mins and 90 mins and children usually start with 1 session per week.
Can I Watch: We encourage parents to attend the first session to see the venue and meet the coaches. As the viewing space is very small we do restrict viewing after this so if you feel you need to stay with your gymnast please notify the coaches before you book a session. We have termly viewing sessions.
Coach Ratio: 1:8
How To Join: When we have space available you can book a trial via the website. After this your child will automatically be either placed onto a waiting list for the appropriate level class or offered a place in a class.
Progressing: The coaches will constantly monitor your child's progress and will always let you know when your child is ready to move to a different level. Children all progress at different rates so some children will move through the scheme faster than other children. You can check your child's progress using the club portal where we regularly update there skills.
What happens in the class:
These children usually attend 1 or 2 sessions each week and work towards our club Tumbling Stars Award Scheme. The scheme starts at Level 5 and progresses to Level 1, Bronze, Silver and Gold. Gymnasts start by developing core gymnastics skills on the floor, on the apparatus working on travelling skills, strength work and landing safely. All the children will use bars, beams, vault, trampet and hand apparatus. Once they have confidently achieved the skills on one level they will move to the next level and you will be informed when they need to move up to the next class. Once they are ready they start to progress through rolls,handstands and cartwheel elements on the floor and more advanced skills on all the apparatus including, bars, beams, vaulting, trampet, and hand apparatus. All the gymnasts have the opportunity to be assessed for awards and progress to the next level. Gymnasts take part in club events including the annual club display and once they join levels 3 the club competition.
