CLASS PROGRESSION
 The
Academy provides Artistic gymnastic programs for children aged 2½ to 5
years and also for children of school age. Prospective students
commence with a paid two (2) lesson introductory course to decide if
they enjoy the sport. This introductory course also provides us with
the opportunity to assess your child & position them into a class
of appropriate age & ability grouping.
After this 2 lesson period if the student chooses to continue,
Annual Registration fees and Lesson Fees for the balance of the current
term must be paid. All fees are payable in advance.
Gymnastics is a year-round sport, not seasonal
like many other sporting pursuits. Beginners can commence at any time
of year. Our program operates on 6 terms per year of approximately 8
lessons in duration. Classes are conducted on all school holidays with
the exception of the Christmas period where we are closed for 4 weeks.
Classes are not conducted on the following public holidays - Australia
Day, Good Friday, Easter Saturday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day, Labour
Day, Queen's Birthday and Exhibition Monday. Classes are conducted as
per usual on all school "Pupil Free Days".

In our Girls & Boys 5 – 6 years beginner program & Pre-Prep
Flyer girls & boys our coach to gymnast ratio is generally 1 : 8.

Accredited Assistant Coaches (volunteers and paid employee’s) and Gym
Leaders (volunteers) are also utilised to assist our resident staff in
their duties and provide valuable feedback and assistance with group
management.

Academy recreational program includes the Tiny Twister Program, WAG Gym
Fun Program, WAG & MAG Gym Skills & Gym Fit programs. Gymnasts
participate in the Academy’s various Badge Awards Schemes and the WAG
& MAG National Levels Awards Scheme. The Academy provides
