boys and girls between three and a quarter and five years of age

circuit stations and the basic gymnastics skills through gross
motor learning skill, blended with fun and imagination using the BG
Fundamental Reward Scheme.

attending Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday and boys on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday.

squad gymnasts train from one to six sessions a week for between 2
and 4 hours at a time according to their ability level. Selection
