Introducing
GYMNASTICS FOR ALL (GfA)
GYMNASTICS FOR ALL (GfA)
The focus of our Gymnastics for All session if Fun, Fitness and Fundamentals, through Gymnastics with or without apparatus
We currently run a Gymnastics for All (GfA) and British Gymnastics RISE programme for children who are aged 5 to 16 years old and aged 4 in our Fab 4’s sessions.
Our GfA sessions run each week for 1 hours and children are encouraged to learn and experience a variety of basic movement patterns across the range of gymnastics disciplines.
The GfA sessions follow a rotating weekly programme which introduces children to the apparatus (Bars, Beam and Vault) whilst also introducing them to Floor Skills including Partner/Group Work (within social distance guidelines) and Hand Held apparatus (Ribbons, Balls and Hoops) and Rebounds skills
We also look at offering our GfA Gymnasts the opportunity to take part in Key Step/RISE Competitions (being a competition framework for ‘grass-roots’ development). Gymnasts will have the opportunity to learn routines in 2 gymnastics areas, being:-
Floor: Sequences of gymnastic skills performed on a small matted area. Routines include balancing, jumping, rolling and flexibility skills. Music is optional at level 3
Vault: Skills are performed travelling on and off a bench (level 1) or box top (levels 2 & 3), at levels 2 & 3 vault can be taught with or without springboard and compete against similar ability gymnasts within the Club.
We are open all School and most Bank holidays, except for Christmas when the club closes for a few days
Our coaches are very supportive and focus is placed on building confidence and learning new skills through the variety of areas worked
Both our Gymnastics for All and Gymnastics for All Advanced groups will have the opportunity to work through British Gymnastics’ new Rise Gymnastics programme.
Rise Gymnastics is a fun packed programme that provides a progressive journey through recreational gymnastics

Every child taking part in our Gymnastics for All and Rise Gymnastics programme will learn a variety of gymnastics skills in a safe, fun and friendly environment.
Once a quick warm up and stretch has been completed, each week’s session will focus on one of the area of our weekly program, which enables the child to develop their knowledge and understanding of the concepts. This experience in turn develops the child’s physical skills and body awareness.
The aims of our Gymnastics for All session are to: –
- Encourage Fun, Fitness and Friendship
- Provide the children with a positive gymnastic experience through a fun and challenging environment.
- Provide opportunities on a progressive pathway, which encourages functional movement
