Pre-school

Play is a serious business; it should be a fun, enjoyable activity, which stimulates the development of mind and body. A good pre-school gym experience can provide social, physical, lingual & intellectual, creative & emotional awareness and improve concentration, competence & confidence.

They are encouraged to use imagination on adventures, in fairy stories and listening and moving to nursery rhymes, songs and music.

My club is a British Gymnastics initiative targeted at keeping 11-16 year olds involved in gymnastics. It is often a drop off point for young people – something which we are keen to avoid happening.
