FAQs
What would my child do in a trial session?
-
Your child will join our regular class for that session to gain valuable experience within the culture of Elite. Beyond this, your child would slot into the group (space permitting) that they had their trial session in.
A trial session gives your child the chance to enjoy the atmosphere, learn skills, and get to know the coach and fellow gymnasts in a supportive, no pressure environment. Should they wish to continue on their gymnastic journey, this would be their future training session.
What is the age requirement to join?
-
Our community sessions are suitable for children from 4 years old and above.
How many levels are there?
-
Our Academy students work towards British Gymnastics Achievement Grades Levels 8 – 1, across all age ranges.
To be selected for pre-competitive squad, we would expect our gymnasts to achieve a minimum of British Gymnastics Level 4 at ages 6+. We have 4 levels within our Gymnastics academy, which include: –
- Nursery (2.5 – 4 years)
- Gymnastics Academy (3 – 14 years)
- Pre-Competitive Squad
Regional Competitive Squad
How long are the classes and how many children in each class?
-
Each academy class lasts for 1 hour, and includes approximately 20 minutes cardio warm-up, pre-training dynamic stretching, basic shapes and floor skills; 30 minutes Apparatus training, and 10 minutes cool down/static stretch and plenary. Each class may be subject to different timings based on the age and abilities of the participants.
Nursery sessions last 30 minutes and consist of developing the child’s physical development, proprioception and spatial awareness, through games and interactive play.
How many sessions should my child play a week?
-
There is no requirement to participate in any more than one 60-minute session per week to achieve consistent progress, but development of skills are accelerated when combining classes and undertaking at-home physical preparation.
Will I get regular updates on my child’s progress?
-
Our coaches give constructive feedback to participants continuously throughout and after sessions and can offer additional advice as required. Whilst we welcome parents to come and watch the sessions, it can be distracting for small children when parents offer their child feedback during the class. It is important that children rely on and respond to the coaches to preserve their safety during classes.
All coaches are always willing to liaise with parents regarding their child’s progression throughout the season, either by face to face, or written reports.
Will my child have the same coach for every session?
-
We plan to have the same coach for every session as we feel this is important for the child’s progress and continuity of sessions. If your child moves levels, then it may mean they have a different coach, as well as a temporary coach in the event of rare staff illness.
Where are your coaches from and what are their qualifications?
-
Our coaches are all fully qualified by their respective National Governing Bodies and Federation Internationale de Gymnastique (World Gymnastics Federation), and primarily of western origin, but all are trained to the highest calibre in their respective disciplines.
What is included in the kit pack?
-
Children will receive a leotard and shorts (girls) and Elite Sport shorts and t-shirt (boys), which are mandatory to wear during all gymnastics sessions.
