Gymnastics masterclass workshops

In our gymnastics workshops we focus exclusively on the four core disciplines of artistic gymnastics: floor, vault, beam, and bar. Each workshop features pre-planned circuits and drills designed by our senior coaching team to help gymnasts enhance their skills. Participants will be grouped according to age and ability, ensuring tailored skill development. Please provide your child with a snack and drink for the break, and kindly note that snacks containing nuts are not permitted.
