My name is Rachel and I am a Club Coach at Coalville Gymnastics Club and hold the British Gymnastics qualification ‘Gymnastics and Movement for People with Disabilities’. I run a class for children aged 5 years and upwards, who need extra help to enjoy gymnastics. These gymnastics classes are tailored to the children's needs.
Gymnastics is a wonderful sport that children love regardless of abilities. It is also the ABCs of physical fitness, assisting with Agility, Balance and Co-ordination, as well as strength and flexibility.
Currently the class is held on Friday evening at 4.30 and lasts for an hour. Children may work toward certificated awards, or just can just attend to enjoy gymnastics.
If you would like more information, please ring or e-mail the gym on 01530 811001. - For an idea of the type of skills taught for awards, see below.
A sample of the awards children can work towards in the GMPD sessions.
