Session Details
Gym Stars: The children will be working through our Gym Stars programme using the badges 1-7 for the Twinkle Stars, badges 6 - 14 for Bright Stars and badges 8 - 14 for Shooting Stars. We aim for them to achieve one award per 10-12 week term with one skill being marked as achieved each week in their progress booklets.
Academy: The children will be working through the Beth Tweddle Academy programme.
First session
Parents can stay for the first session should they wish to do so, however after the first session they will not be permitted to stay as the coaches will require the gymnasts full attention at all times during the session.
Clothing/Jewellery
Gymnasts should wear shorts and a t-shirt, leggings/tracksuit bottoms. No bare midriffs. No jewellery is permitted and long hair should be tied back off their face. All earrings must be removed and if this is not possible then they must be tapped up. They should always bring a drink to their sessions.
Progress books
They must also bring along their progress booklet as this is where the coaches will record all progress and mark off what skills have been achieved. If the gymnast loses their progress booklet, a new one must be purchased at a cost of £3.50 so please ensure they are kept safe.
