Funfit
On Saturday mornings, Springfit run combined gymnastic and trampoline classes, with an emphasis on fun.
Our 9am class is for pre-school children age 2 1/4 up. Older siblings are also welcome.
At 10am the age guideline is 4-7 years. Younger children with previous gymnastic experience are also welcome.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM FUNFIT CLASSES:
9am:
Rotating three groups between 20 minutes of trampolining, gymnastic floor work and gymnastic apparatus work. Children are encouraged to work towards the Winstrada development programme in trampolining, helping them gain control on the trampoline, while getting to try shapes and understand how their body positions affect the reaction of the trampoline.
In gymnastics, equipment used in floor exercises help children build on balance and control, while introducing gymnasic shapes and basic elements. Members can work towards nationally recognised development programmes, and attain awards for completing moves in gymnastics.
The third group is introduced to various gymnastic apparatus, such as horse/vault, trampette jumps and beam work, and work through varied exercises in a safe environment. Using assisted techniques to help overcome obstacles and learn how to best achieve results on equipment, each member can build on what they have learned each week to get their jumps bigger, hands placed down more firmly and confidently, and improve balance, strength and agility.
10am:
After playing warm-up games for the first ten minutes of the class, two groups are allocated 25mins on both the trampolines, and gymnastic area.
Using activities and techniques similar to the 9am Funfit class plans, the moves and elements are of a slightly more developed nature, for the slightly older child.
