We offer numerous recreation classes to children from 3 months and older. Our Nationally qualified coaches deliver programmes suited to the age and stage of all children.

The classes are structured and cover the 6 dominant movement patterns of Spring, Rotation, Landings, Swing, Statics and Locomotion.

These dominant movement patterns are the building blocks of all sport!

 

Emphasis is on FUN in a safe environment.
