Ages 2-4 Years
Little Twisters is structured coach-led preschool gymnastics sessions for children aged 2+. We are delighted to inform you that we are now offering TWO different types of Pre-school classes at Twisters Gymnastics Club. We have our Morning Pre-school class and our NEW afternoon independent Pre-schoool.
Parent and Coach Morning Preschool:
2-3 years
Monday – Friday: 11:30am – 12:15pm (45 minutes)
One guardian is allowed to accompany each child and must be present and ready to actively participate in the activity with their little one.
Each week the preschool gymnastics session is based on a new theme for example, Dinosaurs, The Weather, Mini Beasts, Out of Space etc.
The children learn new skills every week on each apparatus gaining confidence to help become more independent.
They will develop their strength, fine and gross motor skills and stimulate their cognitive and psychical skills.
Little Twisters’ gymnasts work towards an award scheme trying to achieve their bronze, silver and gold preschool medal and certificate.
Independent Afternoon Preschool:
3-4 years
Monday – Friday: 1:15pm – 2:00pm or Saturday: 1:30pm – 2:25pm (45 minutes)
This session is independent and for gymnast and coach only, children are to engage in the session on their own.
This is a great opportunity to get children ready for when they move up to the after school sessions.
Parents are welcome to wait and watch from the reception or join us in the comfort of our fantastic newly built Cafe.
Our preschool gymnastics sessions begin with a 10 minute lively group warm-up accompanied by music.
During this time, children engage in hand apparatus or movements, encouraging coordination, rhythm, and flexibility. This energetic start helps set the tone for an active and engaging session.
To ensure a well-rounded experience, we rotate around three pieces of apparatus, changing every week. This approach ensures that children get exposure to a variety of gymnastics equipment, allowing them to develop essential motor skills, strength, and balance. Our dedicated coaches provide guidance and support to help children navigate the equipment safely and confidently.
After exploring the apparatus, we bring the children back together for a 5 minute group cool down. This final phase allows for a calming end to the session, promoting relaxation and flexibility.
Afternoon Preschool Badge Programme:
We also offer a badge programme for all our afternoon pre-schoolers. Every session, children will have the opportunity to earn the badges, certificates and rosettes as testament to their progress and dedication.
Our badge program is designed to boost confidence and instil a sense of achievement in our little gymnasts, fostering a love for gymnastics and a sense of pride in their accomplishments.
