​​​​​​​WHY KIDS SHOULD DO GYMNASTICS

  1. No other sport includes all 7 fundamental movement patterns, (spring, landing, locomotion, rotation, statics, swing and manipulative skills).
  2. Weight bearing sports increase bone density, stronger bones reduce the risk of injury and osteoporosis later on in life.
  3. Improves posture.
  4. Gymnastics burns calories and works all of your muscles.
  5. Improves balance
  6.  Develops coordination by crossing mid-lines.
  7.  It improves strength & flexibility
  8.  Increase self-esteem, by using positive feedback and encouraging ideas to improve
  9. Make new friends
  10. We develop skills which will help in all other sports.
  11. It's great fun
