Active Gymnastics

Active Gymnastics operates a thriving programme of gymnastics instruction from Gym Tots to Elite Gymnastics. Tameside Gymnastics Centre is dedicated to gymnastics with an extensive range of fixed apparatus and equipment.

Benefits of Gymnastics

This sort of highly structured exercise may have the following benefits for young children:

• Improves and develops flexibility

• Improves muscular strength

• Improves and develops motor co-ordination

• Improves and develops circulation and heart function

• Improves posture and discipline

• Enhances social skills with other children and adults

• Develops learning and listening skills

The skills learnt in gymnastics, both physiological and psychological can underpin a child's performance and success in many sports and indeed in other areas of adult life.

 

Gym Tots

These sessions are designed for children from crawling babies up to 4 years. They are informal play sessions for parents and children, and a great way to introduce little ones to basic equipment and the gymnastics environment.

 

Little Tumblers

These sessions are designed for pre school children from 3 years old. Classes are led by our qualified coaches, with no more than eight children per group. Structured sessions provide a fun enviroment for children to learn basic gymnastic skills and work towards our Badge Award Scheme.

 

Junior Gymnastics

Coached gymnastic sessions for children above the age of 5 wishing to develop floor movements, work on the vault, skills on the bars and beam, plus a variety of other equipment. Junior gymnastics run in eight week blocks and must be booked in advance, as children progress through the award scheme.
