Children's Gymnastics in Surrey

Gymnastics builds strength, balance, coordination and body awareness, and many clubs in Surrey start children from walking age. Parent and toddler tumbling sessions give the youngest children a chance to explore soft shapes, beams and trampettes alongside a grown up. From around four or five years children can join structured recreational classes that teach the basics of floor work, vaulting, bars and beam in a safe, progressive way. Those who take to it can move into more regular training and, if they want, competitive gymnastics through British Gymnastics affiliated clubs.

Most recreational classes follow the British Gymnastics Foundation and Development awards, which give children a clear progression path without the commitment of competitive sport. Sessions run at leisure centres and dedicated gymnastics clubs across Surrey, with classes for girls and boys. Boys artistic gymnastics has its own programme, covering different apparatus and skills from girls' gymnastics, and is worth looking for specifically if you have a son keen to take it up.

Class sizes and waiting lists vary. Some of the larger clubs in Surrey have long waits for recreational classes, so it is worth getting on a list early even if your child is not quite old enough yet.
