Pre-school Gymnastics

A fantastic introduction to gymnastics aimed at developing motor skills through balance, co-ordination and flexibility. Each week we explore a different theme so that classes remain fun and educational.

Bridging Class

This class acts as a stepping stone between our traditional pre-school class and our 2.30 recreational gymnastics class. The idea is that children selected to take part in this class will work off the general class curriculum but in smaller groups than our 2.30 general classes. Childern aged 4 who haven’t started school but are no longer challenged enough by our Pre-school Class will be selected for the Bridging Class.

Class times
Tuesday 2.30 – 3.15
Wednesday 1.45 – 2.30 & 2.30 – 3.15
Thursday & Friday 1.45 – 2.30

Recreational Gymnastics Classes (age 4-10)

Introduction to fundamental skills on bars, beam, vault and floor. At Arabian we ensure that all gymnasts remain challenged by providing a specific motivational event each term; Term 1 culminates in a Christmas Show, Term 2 culminates in annual grading, Term 3 culminates in a class competition.

Age Appropriate Classes
2.30 – 3.30 Monday to Friday for boys and girls in Junior & Senior Infants
3.45 – 4.45 Monday to Wednesday for boys and girls in 1st to 3rd Class
5.00 – 6.00 Monday to Thursday for boys and girls in 4th class & above

Mixed Age Group Classes – while our preference would always be age appropriate classes, we realise that this may not be possible for those with siblings of varied ages, therefore we have created the following “mixed age group” classes.
Mondays 6.00 – 7.00 & 7.00 – 8.00
Tuesdays 6.00 – 7.00
Thursdays 3.45 – 4.45
Fridays 3.45 – 4.45 & 5.00 – 6.00
Saturday@ 3.45 – 4.45 & 5.00 – 6.00
