As a parent, finding a sport or activity that not only entertains your child but also contributes to their overall development can be challenging. Gymnastics is a fantastic solution, offering numerous benefits for school-aged children. At Wickers Gymnastics Club, we provide a nurturing environment where children can grow and learn under the guidance of our British Gymnastics qualified coaches. Here’s why you should consider signing your child up for our gymnastics classes.
Comprehensive Development through Gymnastics:
Physical Benefits
Gymnastics is a holistic sport that enhances children's physical development. It improves strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance. By participating in gymnastics from a young age, children develop a foundation of physical skills that are beneficial in all aspects of life and other sports.
Cognitive Improvements
Gymnastics also sharpens the mind. Following instructions, remembering routines, and understanding sequences boost cognitive abilities, including concentration and problem-solving skills. These cognitive skills translate into better academic performance and improved ability to navigate daily tasks.
Social and Emotional Growth
Our classes foster a sense of community and teamwork. Children learn to support each other, take turns, and celebrate shared successes, which are critical social skills. Additionally, gymnastics can boost self-esteem and confidence as children master new skills and overcome challenges.
Our Program Structure:
Tailored for School-Aged Children
Our sessions are specifically designed for children aged 4 years and upwards. Classes run for one hour each, providing ample time for warm-ups, instruction, and practice on two different pieces of apparatus per week. We follow a 3-week rota that includes the floor, vault, bars, beam, and trampette, ensuring a well-rounded exposure to various gymnastics disciplines.
Qualified Coaching
Classes are led by coaches who are qualified through British Gymnastics and assisted by members of our Leadership Academy. This ensures high-quality instruction and a supportive learning environment. Our coaches are committed to nurturing each child’s potential, regardless of their current level of ability.
Convenient Schedule
We offer multiple session times throughout the week to accommodate busy schedules:
Monday to Friday: 4.00pm - 5.00pm, 5.10pm - 6.10pm, 6.20pm - 7.20pm
