Gymnastics Classes Ages 8-10 years

Red Beginner and Red Advanced The skills Beginner and Advanced Reds work on are listed below. When they have mastered all the skills in Beginner Red they are ready to move up to Advanced Red. After this, they move up to the Bronze 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 a level anywhere from a year to two years. They also take part in inter schools competitions twice a year- to learn the art and skill of performance.
