Gymkidz Gymnastics Introduction
- Children need movement in order to develop right from infancy through to adolescence; this program has been designed to teach preschool children, flexibility, balance, strength, agility, co-ordination and body awareness.
- Gymkidz is a fun fill program presented with a variety of different movements in several different contexts.
- The child is exposed to unlimited possibilities in physical activities.
- Every child can develop to his full potential and feel successful. Gymkidz incorporates a policy of “learn through play”
- By focusing on all aspects of childhood development we enable the children to build a firm foundation for any sport which they may partake in, in later years
- We provide the first fun filled exposure to gymnastics for gymnasts that go on to be competitive sportsmen and women.
- We motivation the children and develop life skills that they need later on to lead a balanced life style.
- The evaluation of success is made at once by the child who adds one small success to another, one new skill to another. He grows in his ability to listen, follow cues and create, he becomes an alert, confident, thinking, sharing, creating individual and a whole person.
Basic concept
- A huge percentage of a child’s personality and achievement potential is developed during the first 5 years of a child’s life. Gymkidz provides the child with an environment in which he is given nearly unlimited freedom to explore the capabilities of his body, with a reassuring coach at hand to help him along the way.
- We believe that the child learns in a fun, safe environment and by learning in such an environment he will raise his level of self-confidence which continually feeds on the nourishment of opportunity.
- The children learn social skills by working alone, with partners and in groups. Many traditional games are taught to the children. These develop sportsmanship, social interaction and boost self-confidence.
Our programme covers all of the following developmental skills:
Flexibility
Muscle strength and tone
Balance and posture
Body awareness and visual perception
Gross and fine motor co ordination
Concentration
Sportsmanship
Hand eye co ordination
Ball skills
Develop and Improve self-confidence.
Improve verbal communication and language development, thinking

To help children develop motor imitation skills. Motor imitation is the
ability to watch a demonstration of a body movement and copy that
movement.
Integrated Learning Therapy
We have recently introduced the Integrated Learning Therapy movement
sequencing exercises into our programme. These are very specific movements,
which assist in preventing and helping to overcome learning difficulties in children.
These exercises specifically work on the following:
Left and right brain hemisphere integration
