Recreational Gymnastics
Manawatu Gymsports offers a range of classes to suit any child.
Our recreational classes are where all children 5+ should begin their gymnastics journey. We have our own club badge programme that all children over 5 work towards at their own pace. Recreational gymnastics works on skills on the floor, beam, bar, vault, rings, double mini tramp, hoops, balls, skipping ropes in addition to core conditioning.
We offer classes in these age ranges: 5-6, 7-9 and 10+.
In addition to the recreational classes we also offer these classes for children over 7:
