kindy bears
ages: 3-5 years

The kindy bears program caters for boys and girls from 3-5years, in a challenging, non-threatening environment.    roups are small (8-12) per teacher) and where possible, children are grouped according to age, standard and experience.  

A wide variety of equipment is used in circuits to allow the children to explore the basic movement fundamentals of running, jumping, landing, hanging, swinging, balancing, turning, rolling and supporting their weight on various body parts.


The curriculum has been devised to enable your child to progressively develop basic movement patterns, so that good body tension and spatial awareness is promoted. However, within each lesson there is also scope for extension and creative activity.

Junior Gym

Junior Gym caters for children aged 5-7 years old.  Each child begins at the first level - BRONZE - and progresses through to GOLD -. Children are encouraged to participate in grading days, which are held on a Sunday morning towards the end of term. Each child receives a participation certificate as a record of his or her participation and achievements.

 

The progressive steps are:  BRONZE - SILVER - GOLD

Most 6 to 7 year olds will complete the whole program in one year. The younger ones will usually take longer. The complete program covers basic movement fundamentals and body preparation and provides an excellent foundation for other sports.

development program
 
Classes are provided for 5-7 year girls and boys who have progressed through the junior gym quickly. The program is based on conditioning, body shape preparation and orientation.  It is presented in a challenging and exciting way, so that the activities reinforce sound basic technique, but are also fun.  Grading days are held at the end of each term and the gymnasts aim to demonstrate improvement in the key areas of strength, flexibility and shaping.  It is advisable that the gymnasts remain in the program for several terms.  If suited to the competitive stream, the gymnast will be recommended for pre-level 1 or pre-elite at around the age of 6, otherwise the natural progression is to the Recreational programme.
