Children can remain in our recreational pathway for their entire gymnastics journey, progressing through the Rise Awards and enjoying all the exciting events, competitions and activities we offer year-round.

Our Recreational Programme begins after our Pre-School sessions and is open to children aged 5 and up, with over 20 weekly classes designed to inspire and develop young gymnasts.
