Recently in the news and on television there has been a great deal of coverage with regards to obesity in young children due to lack of exercise. Here at Croydon School of Gymnastics we have a team of dedicated coaches whose aim it is to encourage all children to take up the sport of Gymnastics. As Gymnastics is the basis of all sport and is one of very few sports that a child as young as age one can start, the concept of early learning has proven without doubt to be effective on the physical and mental development of children, raising their levels of awareness and improved grasp of any situation.

Gymnastics with its spectacular development remains the cornerstone of any sporting activity in which participation opens infinite sporting horizons. Gymnastics not only sets children up for life physically and mentally, but actually disciplines them as well as.

We feel as a sports club serving our community it is our duty to offer a programme so all children no matter what age, level or ability they are, they can experience a sport that is both challenging and fun.

These classes are a drop in class and are an ideal opportunity for your child to interact with other children. They can explore, swing, climb, jump, run whilst under your supervision. These classes are specifically for children (aged under 4 years).  We have specialised mini apparatus for this age group which includes a Large Trampoline with a padded surrounds, baby Rings, A/Bars, Parallel Bars, Soft foam shapes, Trampettes,  Beams, Ball Pool and a Play House with Slides.
