A clear parent decision
Are weekly group classes the right format?
Children can begin as complete beginners. The main decision is whether a regular term-time class, age band and location fit your family.
Choose children’s group classes if your child…
- is within the published age range for a suitable class;
- can attend a regular weekly school-term session;
- would benefit from learning alongside other children;
- wants to build movement foundations, confidence and gymnastics skills;
- is ready to try the environment before term enrolment.
Another service may fit better if you need…
- an individually arranged appointment rather than a fixed weekly class;
- one-to-one coaching focused on one child’s specific goal;
- a lesson delivered at home;
- an adult rather than children’s programme;
- a casual drop-in rather than term-based enrolment.
Age-appropriate development
A clear pathway, adapted to each gymnast
Age bands organise the class environment. Coaches still select suitable progressions for the children in front of them rather than promising a fixed result.
Ages 4–6
Build balance, coordination, basic gymnastics shapes, listening skills and confidence in a structured class.
Ages 7–11
Develop strength, flexibility, body control and progressive floor skills such as suitable handstand and cartwheel work.
Ages 10+ in Kensington
Refine technical consistency, strength, control and progressively more challenging skills at an appropriate individual pace.

- Skill developmentPractise suitable shapes, balances and progressions with clear coaching.
- Strength and mobilityBuild the physical qualities that support safer, more controlled gymnastics.
- Controlled finishComplete the session calmly and reinforce the day’s learning.

How to join
Three simple steps from class search to enrolment
A trial is normally the first booked session for a child who is new to KCGA.
Places are confirmed individually. If a suitable class is full, KCGA can discuss the waiting list rather than promising immediate availability.

- Enquire about availabilitySend your child’s age, preferred location and preferred day by WhatsApp or through the contact page.
- Attend a £40 trialIf the class is suitable and space is available, enrol for the remainder of the school term.

- Clear instruction and positive reinforcement within a calm group environment
- Personal communication with families about class fit and availability
- Formal safeguarding information kept visible and accessible

Children’s group gymnastics FAQ
Practical answers about ages, starting, fees and weekly attendance.
Can a complete beginner join?
Yes. Children do not need previous gymnastics experience. A trial lets the child experience the environment and helps KCGA confirm the most suitable available class.
What ages do the children’s classes cover?
Foundation classes in Kensington, Knightsbridge and Chelsea are for ages 4–6. Development classes cover ages 7–11, and Kensington also has published 10+ sessions.
How do I choose the right location and class?
Start with your child’s age, the days your family can attend and the easiest venue to reach. Send those details when you enquire and KCGA will advise on class suitability and current availability.
How much is a trial class?
The published trial fee is £40. New children normally attend a trial before enrolling for the remainder of a school term.
How much is a term of group classes?
The published fee is £480 for a 12-week term. Refer to the current KCGA fees page before booking in case a later term has changed.
Is gymnastics insurance included?
No. New gymnasts also require annual British Gymnastics insurance, currently published as £24 and paid separately to British Gymnastics.
What should my child wear and bring?
For a trial, use comfortable sports clothing that allows free movement, remove jewellery and bring water. Once enrolled as a KCGA member, the KCGA club T-shirt is compulsory for regular classes and is worn with appropriate sports bottoms. Gymnasts who represent KCGA in competitions may choose to wear the KCGA leotard instead of the T-shirt during classes, but this is optional. Purchase arrangements and the current cost are confirmed with parents after joining.
What happens if my child misses a group class?
Published KCGA terms state that missed group classes cannot be carried over or refunded. Review the current terms before confirming a place.
How are the groups supported?
Published children’s group classes are structured for up to 10 gymnasts and are led by two qualified coaches, allowing guidance within a social class environment.
What if our preferred class is full?
KCGA can discuss another suitable class or add your family to the waiting list and contact you when a place becomes available.
Are these drop-in classes?
No. The regular programme is booked by school term. A trial is the introductory session used before term enrolment.
How should I enquire?
WhatsApp is KCGA’s stated fastest route. Include your child’s age, preferred location and preferred day. The contact form is available if you do not use WhatsApp.
