DGC’s tumbler classes continue to build on the foundational skills developed through kindergym and they are also an entry point for children who have not been introduced to gymnastics before. In a safe, controlled environment, our coaches assist your child in discovering the many disciplines involved in the sport.
Kindergym gymnasts aged 4+ may be invited to Mini-Gym, sometimes a program itself, at other times integrated with our Tumbler programs.
The four F's of gymnastics are put to the test:
- FUN
- FRIENDSHIP
- FLEXILIBILTY
- FUNDAMENTALS
In addition to the four F's, Tumblers also train skills to develop coordination, balance, agility, and strength using traditional and non-traditional gymnastic equipment.
Our coaches are well-trained to cater to a variety of abilities and ages, and with each term's curriculum focusing on new skills, children can continue to enjoy the challenges the program offers term after term.
This class can provide pathways to competitive gymnastics, or to the other recreational classes offered at DGC, as well as providing an ideal springboard to all other sports!
See our Tumblers flyer below!
If you are new to gymnastics or continuing on from tumblers, girls can experience all areas of gymnastics in a class with girls aged 9 and up (in Girls Teens, from 11-15 years).
Skills developing confidence, coordination, balance, agility and strength are explored across the various apparatus and gymsports. Our programs and structure is similar to the Tumblers program (above), with skills being extended! This program can be used as a pathway into our other programs, such as WAG, Team Gym, Tumble or Free-G, or gymnasts can continue to develop and be challenged in their girls-only classes.
We really try to support keeping our girls in sport, as these are the ages where most girls leave their sports in Australia. Confidence through fitness, fun, friendships, and learning gymnastics!
