Gymnastics

Rochdale Leisure Centre is excited to announce their upcoming Fitness event, specifically designed for gymnastics enthusiasts in the community. Gymnastics is a fantastic activity that not only gets youngsters moving but also sets the foundation for a healthy and active lifestyle.

With gymnastics, children and young people can develop fundamental movement skills while becoming fitter, stronger, and more confident. The benefits are aplenty, including improved balance, flexibility, coordination, and hand-to-eye skills. Moreover, participants also learn important social skills like teamwork, self-confidence, trusting in others, and the art of sharing by taking turns.

The gymnastics programme at Rochdale Leisure Centre caters to all abilities, starting from children as young as 2 years old. Whether you're a beginner just starting with your first forward roll or someone looking to perfect a forward somersault, there's a place for you in this comprehensive programme.

We take immense pride in having fully-qualified British Gymnastics coaches on hand to provide outstanding instruction. They guide pupils through the different levels of the programme while ensuring a fun and engaging learning environment. As children progress, they have the opportunity to collect badges and certificates at the end of each level, giving them something to work towards and celebrate their achievements.

- Gyminis: For children under 5 years old
