A YEAR IN GYMNASTICS
More Than a Weekly Gymnastics Class
The gymnastics program is designed as a full-year journey. Children train twice a week, gradually developing strength, flexibility, coordination, balance and confidence while learning new gymnastics skills and preparing for performances throughout the year.
The program progresses step by step: children first build the physical foundation and learn basic techniques, then move towards more complex elements, combinations and routines.

Special Monthly Class
At the end of each month, children take part in a special extended class that introduces the focus for the month ahead.
The class begins with regular physical training — warm-up, strength and flexibility work, and new gymnastics elements. Children are then introduced to a new rhythmic gymnastics apparatus, such as rope, ball, hoop or ribbon.
Together with their coach, they watch selected performances by professional and world-class gymnasts and learn what to notice: technique, movement, apparatus handling and musicality.
Children then begin exploring the new apparatus themselves, learning its basic techniques and trying short exercises or movement sequences.
During the following month, they continue working with this apparatus in their regular classes, gradually improving their skills and incorporating new elements into combinations and routines.

Performances Throughout the Year
Training has clear milestones children can look forward to.
During the 2026–2027 school year, the groups will prepare for special Christmas and Easter performances for families, where children can show the skills and routines they have been working on.
The year culminates in a final gymnastics show — a chance for the young gymnasts to perform, celebrate how much they have learned and share their progress with their families.
After the final show, children receive certificates recognising their achievements during the year.
Special team activities outside the regular training program may also take place throughout the year.

Progress Children Can See
Children work towards both long-term goals and small achievements from class to class.
At the end of each session, they can collect a sticker in their own gymnastics notebook — a simple way to mark their participation, effort and progress.
Over time, new elements, apparatus work and performances allow children to see just how much they are capable of learning.

Please also bring a water bottle and a small notebook for collecting class stickers.
THE PROGRAM
How a Typical Class Works
Each gymnastics class combines physical preparation, technique and movement to music. Exercises become progressively more challenging depending on the age, experience and individual readiness of each child.
A typical class may include:
Warm-up. Running, jumping and dynamic exercises prepare the body for training.
Coordination, balance and body control. Children practise controlling their movements, maintaining balance and becoming more aware of how their body moves through space.
Strength training. Age-appropriate exercises help strengthen the core, legs, arms and back — the physical foundation needed for gymnastics.
Flexibility and stretching. Children gradually develop flexibility and work towards skills such as splits and bridges.
Gymnastics technique. The group learns and practises gymnastics elements, with particular attention to correct technique and safe progression.
Rhythmic gymnastics apparatus. Children learn to work with rope, ball, hoop and ribbon, developing coordination and adding apparatus skills to their gymnastics vocabulary.
Combinations and movement to music. As their skills develop, children learn to connect individual elements into short gymnastics combinations, remember sequences and perform them to music.

What Children Learn
Throughout the program, children develop:
Depending on their age and level of preparation, children gradually work towards skills including:
The program is progressive. Children first develop the strength, flexibility and technique required for an element before moving on to something more difficult.
The aim is not to perform advanced skills as quickly as possible, but to build the physical preparation and correct technique needed to progress safely and confidently.
- Flexibility and mobility
- Strength and physical endurance
- Coordination and balance
- Body awareness and control
- Rhythm and musicality
- Gymnastics technique
- Confidence in movement
- The ability to remember and perform movement sequences
- Experience performing in front of an audience
Depending on their age and level of preparation, children gradually work towards skills including:
- Splits
- Bridges
- Balances
- Jumps
- Rolls and forward rolls
- Basic gymnastics positions and elements
- Coordination exercises
- Gymnastics and dance combinations
- Rhythmic gymnastics elements
- Apparatus technique
- Routines performed to music

Different Ages, Different Challenges
Ages 3–5. For younger children, classes include more playful exercises and shorter tasks. The focus is on coordination, balance, flexibility, general physical development and learning to understand and control the body. Children also practise following instructions, staying engaged with a task and becoming comfortable in a structured class environment.
Ages 6–8. Exercises become longer and more technically demanding. There is greater emphasis on correct gymnastics technique, strength, flexibility and coordination, as well as apparatus work, movement combinations and remembering sequences.

A New Apparatus Every Month
Throughout the year, children explore the main apparatus used in rhythmic gymnastics.
The planned progression begins with:
Each monthly cycle includes the following three stages.
Discover. Children watch selected performances by professional and world-class gymnasts and learn what to notice: technique, movement, apparatus handling and musicality.
Learn & Practise. During regular classes, they develop the physical skills and apparatus techniques connected with that month’s focus.
Put It Together. By the end of the month, children use what they have learned in short combinations or creative movement tasks to music.
Elements developed during the year may later become part of the groups’ performance routines.

- September — Rope
- October — Ball
