Progress with Our Gymnastics Badge Scheme

We want every gymnast to see their progress and feel a sense of achievement! That’s why we follow a structured badge scheme, designed to help gymnasts:

  • Master fundamental movements – Handstands, cartwheels, rolls & vaults.
  • Advance to more complex skills – Bridges, backflips, aerials & somersaults.
  • Develop strength & flexibility – Essential for all areas of gymnastics.
  • Track progress & celebrate achievements – Gymnasts are awarded badges as they advance through different skill levels.

Each gymnast works at their own pace, ensuring they feel challenged but never pressured. Our coaches provide personalised guidance to help every child reach their potential.
