Our GOAL is to promote gymnastics for all that encourages, involves, excites, and motivates students. From our vibrant recreational gym school to our enthusiastic competitive gym team, we develop our gymnastics programme from students with individual aspirations, team achievement, and personal excellence.

These groups are based on age to best tailor social interactions and class structure based on students specific development stages. This programme focuses on the LTAD concept of “Learning to Learn”, employing progression based lessons that easily adapt to allow students to choose their level of challenge while simultaneously allowing coaches to challenge students at different skill levels within the same lesson. Emphasis is put on developing gross motor control and expanding movement vocabulary, as well as breaking down big challenges into smaller, more manageable parts.
DEVELOPMENT SQUAD
A selective pathway for gymnasts who are identified during in-house assessments as having potential for competitive training. Focusing on the LTAD concept of “Learning to Train”, the curriculum is focused on developing sport specific strength, shaping and movement patterns that will be utilised in future skills, as well as a healthy attitude towards training and competition. These classes offer a “taste test” of the physical and mental effort that competitive training entails and can flow into competition if the gymnast is ready, or back into recreational if the intensity of training proves more than desirable for the gymnast.
COMPETITIVE & HIGH PERFORMANCE
COMPETITIVE & HIGH PERFORMANCE
This is a selective team where gymnasts are sorted into competitive levels based on skills, physical and mental preparation. The Junior team focuses on the LTAD concept of “Learning to Compete”, beginning to follow a year long periodised training programme with specific strengthening, skill acquisition, and routine preparation phases, concluding with local competitions towards the end of the academic year. Emphasising a growth mindset and the importance of progress and personal performance over scores and medals, gymnasts learn the importance of integrity in training, determination, empathy towards peers and fellow competitors. The Senior team continues this work and expands on competitive opportunities, including overseas competitions such as FOBISIA and SEASAC. As gymnasts get older and training hours increase, focus turns towards building core values such as leadership, self-ownership, improvisation, time management, and internal motivation; skills that extend far beyond the competitive arena and foster an adaptive and capable adolescent.
