Recreational Gymnastics
Our recreational gymnastics program is designed to engage children age 6 and over in gymnastics in a developmental, fun and friendly way. The aim is to develop your child’s physical literacy through gymnastics - which means that they will develop their confidence and motivation for sport and physical activity, as well as their physical movement skills, flexibility, strength and coordination. Whether children continue with gymnastics or wish to specialize in another sport, their experience at Smoky River Gymnastics will provide them with an excellent base for progression.
Gymnastics also provides a fantastic opportunity for children and young people to develop social skills – and this is something we take very seriously at SRGC; interaction, teamwork and leadership skill development are a key part of our delivery.

Specialty Classes
Handstands | 6 years and Up | 1 hour |
A handstand helps the gymnast develop strength, balance, and spatial awareness. A proper handstand position is a basic progression for numerous skills on all of the gymnastics apparatuses and in all of the disciplines. This class is for those athletes who REALLY want to improve their handstands. It requires some dedication and ability to work independently. They will be required to do some homework at home. This is the 1st step to the 12 shapes of gymnastics.
Uneven Bars | 6 years and Up | 1 hour |
Bars require strength, core and a lot of repetition. Gymnasts will work on their core strength, mounts, casts/swings, circling elements and dismounts.
Beam | 6 years and Up | 1 hour |
In this class we will be working on our confidence to stay on the beam. We will work on Acro skills(Forward rolls, backward rolls, handstands, cartwheels), jumps, leaps, turns and holds. The mastery of beam is simply being on it as often as you can.
Vault | 6 years and Up | 1 hour |
This class will focus on the skills required to master the vault. Vaulting has more to do with the run and takeoff than the actual skill on the vault. A gymnast must run fast, and explode off the board to generate as much height and rotation as possible. Skills your Gymnasts will work on are running technique, hurdling, blocking and arm swing.
