NNGC is a general gymnastics club affiliated with British Gymnastics and is open to girls and boys aged from 5-11yrs. The sessions run on Saturday mornings.
General gymnastics is a great way to have fun whilst improving a range of different skills such as, balance, flexibility, strength and overall fitness.
Each gymnast works towards gaining their British Gymnastics Proficiency Awards and has the opportunity to purchase their badges and certificates on completion of a level.
Here are to top reasons from Bristish Gymnastics why you couldn’t find a better sport for your child:-
Fun – turning upside down and learning new skills and tricks is part of every child’s nature.
Fitness – getting your child up and active is not only good for them it is encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle for life.
Friendship – children love to play with their friends and make new ones in safe and challenging environments
Fundamentals – participation in gymnastics teaches and enhances fundamental movement patterns learned early in life and essential for continued growth and development.
Co-ordination and Body Control – gymnastics teaches how to control the body for safe landings and develops co-ordination for other sports and life activities
Confidence and Self Esteem – learning new skills and getting stronger builds confidence and self esteem in children
Listening Skills – children are taught the importance of listening to coaches and other gymnasts, a skill that translates well to all facets of life
Set and achieve goals – helps children strive for accomplishments whether they be learning a new skill or making a competition team
Cognitive Learning – learning new skills helps develop cognitive abilities for translation to the home/classroom
Skills for other sports – it doesn’t matter if your child does not stick with the sport, the skills they learn and fitness they will gain will stay with them throughout life and their other sporting endeavours
