Our Gymnastics programme consists of classes across9 leisure centres catering for children aged 5 years old to up to those in their teens. All our classes are designed to help children develop physically and socially within a structured programme. You will learn gymnastics skills on the floor and on the vault and in some of our sites you will also be able to incorporate the bars, beam, tumbling and trampette work.

Everyone enters the gymnastics coaching programme at general level to ensure you master the basics before progressing and our coaches regularly asses gymnasts to ensure they are continually progressing through our well structured programme.

Once you’ve found your feet on the floor and perfect your balance and co-ordination there is an intermediate coaching programme which is a more advanced level of training.

Beyond that there are two options to further progress your skills:
1. Talent Development: These classes are for gymnasts by invitation only and will focus on gymnasts between the ages of 6 – 9 years who have potential to perform in Scottish Gymnastics National Grading system. These classes will train between 2 – 4 hrs per week across 1 / 2 sessions. Talented gymnasts will the feed into City of Edinburgh Gymnastics Club who will compete in national competitions

2. Acrobatics: Our acrobatics classes are the next step up from intermediate classes and available in a multitude of disciplines which will further enhance the skills gymnasts have already learnt. Classes will be offered in Sports Acrobatics (partner work), Teamgym, and Display and at a later date Rhythmic. These classes will be a minimum of 1.5hrs per week and in some cases 2hrs.
