Pre School Gymnastics Classes
These classes are a great option for children between 18 months and four years old to get involved in gymnastics whether that be with an adult or independent. Our classes are run by qualified Pre School Coaches, these sessions are accompanied by a different book theme each block with accompanying music, hand apparatus and stations. These classes are predominantly midweek, daytime.
Under 5’s Foundation Classes
These classes teach the fundamentals of gymnastics, jumping, landing, using basic equipment and enjoying gymnastics in an independent class. These classes are predominantly, midweek evenings and Saturday morning.
Foundation Classes
This is where we start the gymnastics process, learning how to use a springboard, basic skills such as forwards and backwards rolls. Basic handstand shaping and working on some equipment, once the gymnasts are competent, confident and consistent in all of these areas the gymnasts will move up into a Beginners Class. These classes are predominantly, midweek evenings and Saturday morning.
Beginners Classes
This is our middle stage at High Green Gymnastics Academy, here we progress the gymnasts skills on floor and vault to more advanced basic skills such as; straight leg backward rolls, full handstand, cartwheels as well as teaching the gymnasts harder vaulting techniques incorporating arm circle vaults and progressing the gymnasts squat on and forward roll vault. The gymnasts are also introduced to basic skills on beam and bars here too. Once the gymnasts are competent, confident and consistent in all of these areas the gymnasts will move up into an Advanced Class. These classes are predominantly, midweek evenings and Saturday morning.
