Acro Tots
We are excited to announce our NEW Acro Tot’s class! This will be a coach-led 45min class aimed at preschool aged children 2+yrs. This structured session focusses on floor activities with stations and obstacles for parent and child to explore together. Discovering the wonders of gymnastics and movement through play whilst developing key, transferable skills as well as social interaction.
Foundation
Edge Acrobatic Gymnastics offers foundation classes for beginners, where gymnasts learn the basic skills they need to develop and progress their gymnastics further as well as giving them an insight to what acrobatics and partnership work is. These sessions are a good introduction to gymnastics for young children, showing them that keeping fit can be fun! The emphasis here is about having fun at the same time as developing coordination, balance, and strength.
Focus Foundation
Our Focus Foundation classes are designed for children who have progressed past the stage of being a beginner and need to be more challenged. This group is perfect for children who have built confidence in the basics and are now prepared for more focused skill development. Gymnasts will continue to strengthen their fundamentals techniques while being introduced to slightly more advanced work, helping the gymnasts continue to grow in confidence and prepare for future development within the club.
Development Squad
Our development squad is a 1.5 hour, invitation only class, designed as a stepping stone between Focus Foundation and Fun Acro. This squad is designed for gymnasts who are showing great progress and enthusiasm for the sport and would like to focus a little more on building their acro skills. This class offers extra support, structured skill development and the chance to grow in confidence while laying the foundations for any future squad basics. For most gymnasts the natural pathway from Development Squad is to continue enjoying their training in Fun Acro until they reach the age or readiness for other potential squad options.
Fun Acro
Fun Acro is a relaxed, skilled based acrobatic gymnastics class designed for children who love the sport and want to enjoy learning without the pressure of competing. The focus is on building confidence, strength, coordination and teamwork in a friendly supportive environment. This class offers a fantastic mix of individual and partner skills, creative acrobatic sequences and plenty of fun challenges. It’s geared towards older gymnasts and is perfect for those who want to continue to develop their gymnastics skills as well as enjoying the social side of acro. Whilst fun acro is not part of our competitive squad pathway, coaches continually monitor every child’s development. and gymnasts that show commitment, readiness and a desire to take the next step are invited to move into squad training when the time is right.
Pre-Squad
Our Pre-squad is a 2 hour, invitation only class, designed to prepare gymnasts for our Limitless and Horizon squads. This gives the gymnasts more of an insight into acrobatics and partnership work, as well as the keen attention to detail that goes alongside competitive acrobatics. Talented gymnasts develop more advanced skills, as well as developing their self motivation and work ethic, preparing them for the next level. The Pre-squad compete 1-2x a year at the Novice Grades.
Acrobatic Squads
Boundless
Our Boundless squad train twice a week and compete using the National Development Plan Grades. These gymnasts are a mixed ability squad for those gymnasts who are keen to compete and work hard but have other commitments in their life. They spend time practicing their partner skills, and individual moves, and work towards competitions and displays. Gymnasts are expected to work hard on their attention to detail and be keen to learn.
Limitless and Horizon
Our Junior and Senior squads, Limitless and Horizon, train and compete at the highest level in the club. These are a competitive group of gymnasts that are focussed, show a relentless work ethic and we believe have the potential to compete at the highest level. They require self-motivation and discipline, as more commitment is expected and training intensity increases. Limitless and Horizon use the National Development Plan, grades 3 and above, and train 3x a week working towards competitions, displays and events.
