Gymnastics Classes Ages 9-12 years


Bronze Beginner and Bronze Advanced

Children come twice a week.

The skills Beginner and Advanced Bronzes work on are listed below. When they have mastered all the skills in Beginner Bronze they are ready to move up to Advanced Bronze. After this, they move up to the Silver 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.

They also take part in inter schools competitions twice a year- to learn the art and skill of performance.Children usually stay in this level anywhere from one to three years.
