Steps to Success
The 7 Steps to Success
Our motivational Steps to Success programme focuses on seven important qualities that we encourage children to develop through gymnastics:
G – Effort Y – Attendance M – Determination N – Focus A – Sportsmanship S – Bravery T – Perseverance
The programme is designed to celebrate more than just gymnastics skills, recognising the attitude, effort and personal qualities children demonstrate during their sessions.
What to Wear
For your child's trial and first few sessions, they may wear comfortable sports clothing such as leggings or shorts and a T-shirt.
After this, gymnastics leotards or suitable gymnastics attire are encouraged.
