Pre School Sessions
New Changes to the program starting 25th February 2013!


The club has been listening to all of our current members as well as those who are interested in pre-school and has developed a new structure which we hope will have something for everyone. Whether you want to come along to our drop in sessions or would like to join our more structured classes, Harrogate Gymnastics has something for you.



Structured Pre - School Classes

Our structured classes move up from one stage to the next as your child develops their skills. 

Sessions run Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday please contact us for more details

Stage 1 - Tiny Tumblers


These classes are for children and their adult helpers. Sessions are aimed at supporting parents and children to explore the gym helping their child to learn new movements and gain valuable motor experiences which will help with their development.
Sessions are kept to 12 max per class (1:6 ratio) to allow lots of interaction within the group and with our coaches.
Sessions are fun, safe and structured. They are planned each week to offer a variety of physical and social experiences.
Once your child is starting to become more independent and has the basic gymnastics skills mastered they will pass stage 1 receive their medal and then move to Stage 2  

Stage 2 - Mini Rollers

Sessions are fun, safe and structured. They are planned each week to offer a variety of physical and social experiences to prepare your child for school.
Sessions are structured in 4 parts
A gentle group warm up to either music or a story.                   

Gentle stretching using different hand apparatus each week.      

Fun stations to help develop the all round development of your child. Children will explore various challenging stations which will include beams, bars, rings, tunnels, soft play and table tops.

The lessons finish with a gentle group cool down with stretches after which stickers of achievement will be awarded.

Using our NEW PRE SCHOOL AWARD SCHEME these classes teach children the next stage of gymnastics skills and start to introduce the more advanced movement patterns and co-ordination skills.

Once Children have completed our stage 2 award they will receive a medal and move to;

Stage 3 - Mighty Movers

At this stage sessions are structured in the same way as above however children in these classes are now starting to master some more complex gymnastics skills working towards the final level of the pre-school award system as well as starting the Bronze award (the first level of our school aged award scheme) which they will continue with once they move to our 4+ after school classes allowing a smooth transition to the recreational classes as well as the chance to get a head start on the award scheme.

Seamless transition to Bronze award for school age children!

Classes cost £6 per lesson paid in advance of each 1/2 term

Drop in Sessions


There are two drop in sessions open to all age groups: 9.30- 10.20am, 10.30 - 11.20am, every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Before February the 25th these sessions are 9.30 and 11am just Tuesday and Friday

Each child must be accompanied by a parent or carer who will help them explore the equipment. Being there every step of the way you will be able to see your child progress and celebrate in their achievements.

The session starts with a play phase when the children can freely explore the equipment on the floor area. Then adults and children gather on the floor area for a group warm up utilizing hand held apparatus. This includes a warm up to music and gentle stretching.  Two coaches will then help you and your child explore the apparatus around the room. This will include:
bars
rings
soft play
high, medium and floor beams
trampoline
basic vault stations
floor skills
New to the drop in we will now have a special baby area for our smallest members.

Finally there will be a group cool down, followed by stickers and stamps for hard work.

Sessions are £4 and no need to book just come along and have a go
