Badge Award

Our 7 – 9 year old programme continues to broaden your child’s unique physical abilities with circuits designed to challenge and expand. These classes include a progressive badge award scheme. Entry level gymnasts are most welcome.

Newcomers will receive a sound introduction to fundamental movement patterns and basic gymnastics skills. The badge award scheme offers extension to current members who have aged up from Ribbon award classes. Gymnasts are encouraged to develop new skills and enhance technique with the intention of opening pathways into other gymnastics programmes.

Badge Awards

In this programme gymnasts work towards learning skills and passing through our 4-level award system. Our coaches work in small groups with your child throughout the term to help them to understand and learn new skills. Each badge generally takes 1 – 2 terms to complete. This system is a progression from our Ribbon awards.

IRON: designed for beginners aged between 7-9 covering basic skills necessary to move on to harder skills.

BRONZE: after achieving Iron, gymnasts move on to achieving their skills with confidence and attempting harder challenges.

SILVER: begin to demonstrate achievement in harder skills, control over their movements and an understanding of all fundamental movements in gymnastics.

GOLD: demonstrate confident understanding of fundamental movements and control over harder skills.
