POWER HOUR WORKSHOPS

Launching our POWER HOUR WORKSHOPS for summerโ€ฆ

During August, we will be running a variety of skills workshops for budding gymnasts, cheer and dance teams. Each workshop is an hour-long and focuses on one or two significant gymnastic skills. They are designed specifically to offer progression in popular gymnastics moves by breaking down the individual move to ensure that each part is performed correctly.

Taught by a qualified gymnastics coach, each session will run in a safe and fun environment within our large, fully equipped gymnasium. From handstand to handspring, there is a session designed for everyone. Check out all the sessions below…

Development Squad Trials

Calling all parents…. we have the fantastic opportunity to open our trial books once again for our Development squad.

If your daughter is born in 2013, 2014 or 2015, has endless amounts of energy and is naturally flexible or strong ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป then perhaps now is the right time to come and trial for these classes.

We are currently looking for girls to join our Development squad to work towards our competitive pathways. This trial is not for normal classes and your daughter will be expected to attend more than one session per week (duration varying dependant on age).

It doesnโ€™t matter if youโ€™re an existing member or just want to give Gymnastics a try, all are welcome and no experience is necessary.

For reference the trial will last approximately 1hr dependant on numbers, and will cost ยฃ5 which is a refundable booking fee upon completion of the trial.

26th September 4pm to 5pm for all 2013โ€™s
30th September 4pm 5pm for all 2014โ€™s
3rd October 4pm to 5pm for all 2015โ€™s.

There are limited spaces available so please donโ€™t wait to book.

To book your daughter in please contact the office on info@swallowsgc.co.uk
We look forward to seeing you there ๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ
