At Houghton Regis Primary School we offer gymnastics club to children in Years 1-4. We are teaching the children to understand the importance of warming up our bodies to prevent injury. This club helps children enhance their gymnastic ability and focuses on balance, coordination, strength, flexibility and control. During the after school lessons, the children are shown how to use the gymnastics apparatus such as safety landing mats and a springboard correctly to develop their skills further. We are following the British Gymnastics Core Proficiency Awards and teaching our gymnasts the key skills required to become a successful athlete.
