Gymnastics Classes Ages 7-8 years

Beginner Blue and Advanced Blue Class:

Once a week for 1 hr/session.

The skills Beginner and Advanced Blue’s work on are listed below. When they have mastered all the skills in Blue Beginner they are ready to move up to Blue Advanced. After this, they move up to the Red level.

A teacher will inform you when your child is ready to move up. Children are continually assessed on our Gym Wizards Star Skills Award System enabling them to “pass” into the next level.

Students usually stay in blue level anywhere from one year to 18 months.

They also take part in inter schools competitions twice a year- to learn the art and skill of performance.
