I struggled to find a gymnastics class for my 7 year old son. Was the world trying to tell me something? However I persevered and finally found this class on a Wednesday afternoon and I'm delighted I did.
The coach is the most lovely lady called Carole and on day one she had number two son doing forward rolls and shoulder stands with pointed toes and a smile on his face. He totally loved it (once he was sure that he wouldn't have to wear a leotard) and that means that I'm happy.
They did a warm up and cool down and Carole made sure everyone was doing everything safely which works for me as I'm a world class worrier. There were plenty of safety mats and a second coach helped keep an eye on all the budding gymnasts so no chance of an injury.
The cost is only £3 for each one hour session which is really good value given the high standard of coaching and equipment. As the class is in the Esporta club, the surroundings are also of a high standard and you can relax in the restaurant while you wait for your future Olympian.
PS, you don't have to be a member of Esporta for your child to go to the gymnastics club. read more
