Overview
Gymnastics provides a great foundation for all physical activity and social development for young children.
At The Y Leisure City, our Little Gym Stars program offers two aged- based classes to help children develop coordination, balance and spatial / body awareness across a variety of apparatus in a fun and engaging way.
- Little Gym Stars- 2 – 3 years old (parent assisted class)
- Little Gym Stars- 4 years to school age
Our gymnasts will explore different themes every fortnight to develop their confidence, conceptual awareness and listening skills.
Our large gymnastics hall is fully air-conditioned and has a separate viewing area for parents to enjoy.
Benefits of gymnastics in early childhood.
Gymnastics helps children to improve their motor skills while also having fun!
Improves:
- Fundamental movement skills: jumping, leaping, hopping and spinning – first key movements that they learn in gymnastics.
- Static and Dynamic balance – gymnastics requires children to keep their body upright as they complete those fundamental movement skills while moving their centre of gravity over their base of support.
- Body and spatial awareness – gymnastics encourages children to be more connected with their space and movement of their body.
- Builds core strength – Gymnastics builds core strength by involving activities such as climbing, balancing, tumbling, leaping jumping and bridging.
- Vestibular Skills: our brain and body needs vestibular sensory information to develop our gross and fine motor skills by moving our bodies in all directions. Gymnastics incorporates body movements in all directions; left, right, up, down and in rotation.
