Beginner and Intermediate Gymnastics
Our gymnastic syllabus allows for children to develop their skills further using the various gymnastic apparatus.
About our Beginner & Intermediate sessions
Children and teens aged 4 to 16 years
What to expect
Our classes start with a pulse-raising activity or game, followed by a full body stretch from head to toe. The gymnasts are then split into groups and will focus on two pieces of apparatus for the session. The gymnasts will rotate from floor and vault one week to bars and beam the following week.
Each session will finish 5 minutes early to allow time for the coaches to hand out their star of the week certificates. These will be handed to one gymnast per group.

Beginner & Intermediate Gymnastics at Active Bolton Arena
Enjoy Beginner & Intermediate Gymnastics at Active Bolton Arena and Horwich.
All of our Beginner and Intermediate classes run throughout the year on a direct debit basis. There is a short break for summer at the end of August, as well as Christmas and Easter.
Once your child is enrolled, you will receive confirmation that your direct debit has been set up. All Direct Debit payments will be updated to reflect the breaks during the year. If you would like to cancel your direct debit, we require 30 days notice. You can cancel by emailing gymnastics@activebolton.com
Our class ratio is nine children to one coach, who divides the class into groups to work on skills related to that week’s apparatus. This allows the children to maximise their time practising and not waiting for turns. As an integral part of our coaching ethos, extra help is given to those who need it.
Once a child reaches the required level they are invited to join an advanced class.
