PARENT AND CHILD - 1 HOUR SESSION
These sessions are for all parents and children to enjoy. The classes are structured and a 12 week programme has been established to encourage the children to experience rolling, climbing and swinging in a safe environment. Classes start for children as soon as they are toddling.

PRE SCHOOL - 1 HOUR SESSION

These classes are for all children over 3 years of age. This is the children's first experience of staying and playing without their parents/guardians. The sessions are run by our experienced Pre school coaches and the aim of the classes are to teach basic co ordination skills, gross motor skills as well as experiencing the gymnastics apparatus.

RECREATIONAL - 1 HOUR SESSION
These classes are for all children of full time school age. The sessions combine fitness and fun in a safe environment for the youngsters. The children experience the larger apparatus as well as taking part in the Proficiency Award Scheme through British Gymnastics, and Trampolining Awards are also worked towards in these session. Badge testing is normally done three times throughout the year. These children also have the oppotunity of taking part in our Annual Club Floor and Vault competition if they so wish.

RECREATIONAL PLUS - 1 1/2 HOUR SESSION
These sessions are for children over 7 years of age who wish to progress their skills on the apparatus. All gymnasts continue to work towards the British Gymnastics Proficiency Awards and Trampolining Awards, as well as participating in the Club Competition held in November each year.

JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT - UP TO 7 HOURS PER WEEK
The coaching team are always on the look out for children who show a natural aptitude for the sport of Gymnastics and Development groups are started each year by the Senior coaches. These children train for up to 7 hours per week and their training is predominantly flexibility and strength based. These children also experience some dance and ballet training which is key in their future development. Family commitment is key to the progress of these young members.

NOVICE, INTERMEDIATE & COUNTY LEVEL COMPETITIVE GYMNASTICS - FROM 4 HOURS TO 20 HOURS PER WEEK
All competition members are selected by the Coaching team. Gymnasts are invited to join these groups when the coaches feel they have reached the required level. These sessions are for both Boys and Girls. The gymnasts also benefit from dance and ballet classes in their weekly training programme.

DISPLAY TEAM
The Display Team meet once a a week for practices. These gymnasts have a trial annually to seek inclusion in the Display Squad. Displays are often seen in the Community at local School Fetes, or Village Summer Fayres.

SCHOOLS
The Club run 5 or 6 weekly Key Steps Classes either at the local Primary Schools, or in the gym. Many rural schools lack the facility of a large hall, and the Headteachers often bus their pupils in to use the Club's facility and apparatus under the guidance of the coaching team. We also run after school Clubs on Friday afternoons.

FREESTYLE AND ADULT GYMNASTICS

We run both an Adult Gymnastics class and a separate Freestyle Gymnastics session during the weeknights. Adult gymnastics runs on Monday evenings and the Freestyle class a Wednesday evening. No previous experiences required to come along and take part. These classes are pay as you go, however, British Gymnastics membership is still required.
