Roefield Gymnastics Club
Running on a Wednesday and Friday through school term time; the ever popular gym club has over 200 children enrolled.
New head coach Toni Connolly has brought in some fresh ideas to improve the quality of the sessions, and in the near future a 'Fast Tumble Airtrack' will become part of the classes, bringing even more levels of fun to each session.
With our trained and qualified coaches, the children work towards completing General Proficiency Badges set out by British Gymnastics starting from level 8, through to level 1, then onto specialist floor and vault techniques. Each badge requires certain elements to be fulfilled, from simple rolls and squats, to using balance beams and the high bar.
"General Gymnastics develops health, fitness and social integration and also contributes towards physical and psychological well-being" (British-Gymnastics.org).
Each course runs for approximately 12 weeks, and not only provides children with fun and creativity, but also an opportunity to make new friends and feel part of a successful and established club.
Roefield Gymnastics Club entered into its first competition on Saturday 31st October, where 37 children were judged on the skills and techniques that they have progressed towards. Many children were sucessful gaining medals and trophies. Congratulations to those.
Children can enrol from the age of 5, but due to high demand, the club operates a waiting list which operates strictly on a first come first served basis.
