Welcome
Thank you for looking at our club. We try to make our classes as fun and progressive as possible. Please always remember that gymnastics is a difficult sport and progressions might be slow and definitely different for every child. This is why we really celebrate the small 'wins' that every child achieves.
We are open and honest from the very start so all information is on the website. however, it is your responsibility to read all the information and be happy prior to booking.
Please read the descriptions of the classes below so you know what type of class to book into
This is an adult and toddler free-flow soft play session for all ages prior to starting reception. Adults must supervise their children at all times during these sessions.
This is an adult-assisted structured preschool class. Children must be older than 2 and a half and starting Reception in 2025 or 2026. The class is taught and guided by coaches however the child's adult must be involved in the class.
This is an independent class. Children must be starting Reception in 2024. Children will attend the coach-led session on their own. Adults are more than welcome to spectate.
General
general gymnastics classes are once a week and make up the majority of our class offerings. These classes are for all children who have started reception at school. Our classes are fun and progression-focused.
Gymnasts will work towards their British gymnastics badge awards and will have the opportunity to enter the annual club championships held in July.
Gymnasts use all the apparatus focusing on the basics and progressing on to the harder skills. Whilst the big skills are why some children want to do gymnastics it is important to manage expectations and have them understand that there is lots of work to put in prior to achieving these skills.
All sessions start with a 10 min warm-up followed by 10 minutes per apparatus.
Home education
Our home education class is part of our general gymnastics program. These sessions are for children of school age only.
The only difference is that the sessions run during the day.
Home-educated children are more than welcome to join our Home education class or any of our general gymnastics classes. you just need to book into a class for the year group they would be in if attending school.
SEND
We have tried to create an environment where children with additional needs have their needs met. We understand that there is a lot of trial and error involved and we are more than willing to work things out with you. Generally speaking, the classes are modelled on the general gymnastics program. however, this is not always possible. Due to this, there are lots of different options we have in place for your child. we will work very hard so that your child gets the best out of their time in the gymnasium and we also get the best out of your child.
We don't like to over-promise and under-deliver, so we ask that you give us a call before you book anything. We will work with you as much as possible to find the correct environment for your child.
TEEN GYM
Flips & Tricks is the perfect place for teen gymnasts who want to take their skills to the next level. Our gym offers a unique experience where gymnasts get to choose what they want to work on which apparatus they want to use, and which skills they want to master. With experienced coaches and state-of-the-art equipment, we provide a safe and supportive environment for gymnasts to achieve their goals and have fun while doing.
