Port Pirie Gymnastics Programs
Pre entry
​
Our Academy runs two pre entry sessions.
​
The TWINKLE TOES (12mths-3yrs) and TUMBLE BUGS (3yrs-5yrs) sessions are aimed at teaching our budding gymnasts very basic gymnastics skills. The children
have loads of fun from the beginning to the
end of every session! Group time welcomes
parents and children to the class with music,
dance and songs. Children then participate in a circuit of various activities and skills with their parents helping and watching every step of the way! You can contact the Pre entry coordinator Kelly Wauchope on the Twinkle Toes and Tumble Bugs face book page or phone 0422 568 174

After progressing from the pre levels, gymnasts train and compete in development levels 1-3 & Competitive Levels 4-10. Competitive gymnastics is where technical fundamentals, combined with the hard-earned strength and flexibility developed in previous levels, begin to transform into powerful skills and graceful sequences. Students will work on floor tumbling and other apparatus skills suited to their stream. Students will continue to strengthen fundamental bar progressions to help in the process of learning more advanced skills. Upon achieving a 'pass score' within each level, the students will advance to the next level.
Women's Adult gymnastics
Minimum age for particpants is 16yrs. Coach Kelly will take the athletes through a series of warm ups, conditioning exercises for: upper strength, mid body, lower body as well as flexibility drills. The gymnasts also focus on apparatus work for vault, uneven bars, beam and floor.
