Gymnastics
Did you know that gymnastics is amongst the best physical education a person can receive? Participation in gymnastics during childhood has been widely documented to improve the development of fundamental motor skills; jumping, landing, and falling skills; as well as strength, flexibility, and overall fitness.
Our Gymnastics PATHWAYS Syllabus has been developed to ensure that our members experience fun, safe, and progressively challenging gymnastics. Our facility is air-conditioned with state-of-the-art equipment and your children will be taught by our highly experienced team of coaches.
