I FEEL MY CHILD HAS GYMNASTICS POTENTIAL DO YOU HAVE PROGRAMS TO NUTURE THIS TALENT?
We are open for you to approach us and discuss your thoughts, we will assess your daughter and be able to give you feedback on her performance and direct her into our competitive pathways if she meets selected requirements.

Unfortunately we do not have a Boys competitive program and send these to our nearest Gymnastics Centre that does.

 

CARPARKING?
Our carpark holds 12 cars and the overflow carparking is on the grassed area on the left as you enter the street. Nose to road or nose to fence, along the roadway are all options for carparking weekly.

 If my child won’t follow circuits or stay in circle time
THIS IS PERFECTLY OK!!
All little dudes whilst exploring the big world are individual, and normally in the 1st few lessons curiosity and exploratory instincts kick in and they need to discover and make themselves comfortable in their new environment .WE always suggest to go with the flow attitude for a few weeks and then gently encourage them to be a part of the group time activities and add from there.
Some circuits are familiar each week?
Our themes each week are designed to take on a little repetitive structure so  your child can remember movements made the last week, to keep your child learning we always have similar activities for a few weeks

I’m concerned and embarrassed my child does not participate like others?
NEVER compare your child to any others and NEVER be embarrassed. Every child is Unique and as parents we need to except that our child is the right fit We encourage that you let your child be free range for a few weeks and gently encourage them into activity they may enjoy, be it fine motor like threading of gross motor like swinging. If you’re concerned it continues speak with our instructors who will encourage a range of activities to take their interest.

 Is there room for my school age children when they are sick or are at home the day of a Kindergym lesson?

Regrettably this is your younger child’s class and we cannot allow other siblings on the floor even if they are a registered afternoon gymnast. We need to respect the parents and their children even on pupil free days.

Are parents allowed on equipment?  Definitely NO!

Parents are not encouraged to jump on trampolines, swing on ropes/rings or into out pits. Public liability does not cover the parent actively using equipment and much or our equipment is not designed for the body weight of adults.
