Gymnastic Programs

Are you struggling to find a safe and educational way for your toddle to use their physical energy and sense of curiosity in a fun way? Relax; most parents struggle to find the answer, but the parents who attend our gymnastics programs with their toddlers and pre-schoolers know the solution is to engage their children with activities that stimulate gross motor skills, fine motor skills, imagination and play through climbing, jumping, rolling, swinging and general movement.

Little EdGym is a play-based, parent assisted program which has been developed for children to utilise their natural curiosity and exploration of the environment around them. Activities are designed for a younger age group, taking into account their activity levels and concentration spans.

Our Little EdGym Program is conducted in purpose based space, using equipment designed for this age group.

EdGym is a play based, parent assisted program that further engages children’s physical development as they grow. Enabling them to navigate through a variety of activities that enhance their development in readiness for kindergarten, school or sport.

Our EdGym Program is conducted in our purpose built gymnastics stadium, using equipment designed for this age group as well as using some of the 'big kids' equipment.

All children develop at their own pace and there is never any pressure to meet any sort of standards. The benefits come from attempting skills and trying, we aren’t after perfection we just want to see happy and engaged children progressing in their own way.

All the children in our EdGym Programs are little superheros in their own right!

The Y GymSafe program designed for children 6 -14 years of age.

Our ten level program involves all apparatus and aims to teach life skills including: confidence, self-esteem, discipline, body awareness, strength and flexibility. This is a great foundation from which the basis of all other sports is formed. Our GymSafe program is taught in a non-competitive format so each participant has the opportunity to learn and progress at their own pace.

Levels start at GymSafe 1 and go up to Level 10. Your child will be placed into a level based on age and experience and will be assessed at the end of every term by their coach. Most levels take two terms to complete, but if your child is progressing quickly the option to move a level ahead will be offered.

GymSafe stages 1/2 and 3/4: 1hr class once per week in a co-ed class learning skills on vault, beam, floor, trampoline, parallel bars and rings.

GymSafe stages 5/6 and 7/10: 90minute class once per week. At these levels, we offer separate boys and girls classes which each focusing on honing their skills on the Olympic format of vault, beam, bars and floor for girls and vault, high bar, parallel bars, rings, floor and pommel for boys.
