Welcome to the wonderful world of Kindergym where we encourage your 18 month to 5 year old child to explore, create and discover their gymnastics and sporting talents. At Kindergym our main focus is to encourage your child's motor, cognitive and socio-emotional growth, at a comfortable pace. An accompanying adult is mandatory and we encourage you to be as involved as possible.
There is a fun new theme each week and your child will have the opportunity to learn and practice gross motor skills – such as running, jumping, galloping, hopping, skipping and climbing. Whilst also developing their fine motor skills including hand-eye and hand-eye-foot coordination. They will learn swinging, spinning, rotations and many other gymnastic and sporting skills which will give them a fantastic start for whichever sport they choose to take up.
Come join in the Fun!
Classes are for 1 hour in duration. (Extra siblings are charged an additional fee if over 18months old.) |

This is an introduction to gymnastics for pre-school aged children 4 - 5 years of age. The program is structured to develop the basic skills of gymnastics in a fun and challenging manner while helping to develop gross motor skills and co-ordination. |

These classes cater for children 5 years and above who are attending school. Through a system of progressive development the children learn basic skills on all the Olympic apparatus. Classes involve a variety of fun and challenging activities which develop a wide range of physical attributes including strength, flexibility, balance and co-ordination. This group has an encouragement award system known as Reach for the Stars that enables each gymnast to progress at their own pace and within their level of ability. At the end of each term they are evaluated on the skills that they have learned throughout the term and, upon successful completion they are awarded a certificate and badge. They then move to the next stage of the system. Classes are 1 hour in duration and they have 1 session per week. |

These classes are for participants between the ages of 10 & 16 who are either trying gymnastics for the first time or are retired from competition and still want to enjoy the sport. This is a motivating class that focuses not only on strength and flexibility but also on the skills the class members wish to learn. Gymnasts in this class are exposed to all the Olympic apparatus but each can choose which they would prefer to spend the most time on, all under the supervision of an experienced and competent coach. Classes are of 2 hours duration and there is one session per week |

Tricking is the informal name of a relatively new underground alternative sport movement, combining gymnastics, breakdancing, martial arts and other activities to create an aesthetic blend of flips, kicks, and twists. Tricking incorporates a variety of moves from different arts such as backflips from gymnastics, cheat 540 kick from Taekwondo, butterfly twist from Wushu and double leg from Capoeira. Tricking is recognizable by its flashy kicks, complex flips and twists, and its highly stylized movements which separate it from other arts. An individual who practices tricking is typically referred to as a "tricker" or "trickster". Morgan and Jono have been studying tricking since 2003 and are now two of the top trickers in Australia and the most qualified for teaching this sport because of their broad knowledge and experience. The classes cater for all skill levels from beginners to advanced. Each new student is taught from the ground up on the foundations of gymnastics acrobatics, martial arts, and tricking specific tricks. Each class is categorized in age groups from 8-13yo in the intermediate tricking class, 14-17yo in the senior tricking class, and 18+ in the adult tricking class. The learning progression that is taught is structured to suit all levels of talent and the range of equipment within the Manly Warringah Gymnastics Club facilities are used to assist the development of the student’s skills. The personal achievement of gaining a new trick is always highly celebrated by the whole group because each student knows how challenging tricking can be. |

These classes cater for gymnasts from 17 years up and the difficulty is tailored to the individual's ability. You are never too old to have a try. The first part of the session is spent on a warm-up including strength, flexibility and basics, then the gymnasts nominate their preferred activity for the rest of the time. Coaches are constantly working and trying to get the best from each participant so your are guaranteed to learn new skills and find muscles that you never thought you possessed. |
