Gymnastics

Gymnastics helps young learners build balance, coordination, flexibility and movement skills that support confidence in other sports and everyday activities. Courses are led by qualified instructors and are structured for children from Reception to Year 6, with additional options for those aged 9 and over, ensuring every child can progress at their own pace.

Courses available at the centres below. To book or enquire, please contact your chosen centre by email, phone or in person.

Karate

Children aged 5 and above can enjoy Karate, where they will build focus, discipline and self belief in a supportive environment. Sessions introduce traditional techniques, including kicks, punches, blocks and stances, that help develop confidence and coordination.
