Our classes are suitable for school-aged children. Many gymnasts start between 4 and 10 years old, but you are welcome to join as a beginner at any age, and we find older children may swap to Rhythmic gymnastics from other sports, gymnastics disciplines or dance.

During the trial sessions, coaches carry out a simple ability assessment to understand your child’s confidence, coordination, and experience. This helps us place them in the most suitable class for their level.

Rhythmic gymnastics is an Olympic sport and discipline of gymnastics that blends dance, flexibility, strength, and apparatus handling. Gymnasts perform skills using ribbon, hoop, ball, rope, and clubs, developing coordination, musicality, and confidence

The British Gymnastics Rise Awards provide a structured, motivating progression pathway. Gymnasts earn certificates and medals as they master new skills, helping them track their development and celebrate achievements. Parents can also view their child's progress in class via the Rise Portal.

We’re unable to offer refunds for individual missed sessions, but if the club cancels a class, we may credit the session in accordance with our terms and conditions. Cases of long‑term injury can be discussed with the coaching team, and an appropriate plan can be put in place to support the gymnast’s safe and gradual return to training.

Yes. All gymnasts in across the club maybe able to take part in displays, and competitions where the level is appropriate to their training, be it internally or externally as well as support the club at events intended to promote the club. Events will be discussed with parents and competitions are optional for recreational and advanced gymnasts.

Parents are permitted to stay and watch only during their child's taster session, thereafter sessions will be closed to viewing due to limited space unless a viewing session is scheduled.
