Recreational Gymnastics

Gymnastics provides children with a strong foundation in movement and physical preparation required in all sports and everyday life.

High Flyers recreational program for 5-12 year olds teaches children basic skills using all gymnastic apparatus. Skills are taught progressively through circuits and other activities, and assist in improving strength, flexibility, balance and co-ordination. All in a positive, fun, safe environment!

Assessments and Award Certificates

The development of each gymnast is recognised through a colours system. Gymnasts work at a level appropriate to their own ability.

In-class assessments take place towards the end of the term 2 and 4 and when competency is achieved gymnasts are awarded with a certificate to recognise their achievement, before progressing to the next level the following term. All gymnasts progress through the levels at their own pace, so those who are not yet ready to move to the next level will be awarded a ‘Stepping Stone’ certificate. Assessment dates will be advised at during term 2 and 4.

Once gymnasts have progressed through all colours they may move into the Club Levels Program where they have the opportunity to compete if they wish. Some children may be invited to join this program earlier.
